The Glory

Original Submission by Heshani Sheranga Ranasinghe

In glory

By Sheranga Ranasinge

Sun does

Rise, Golden…

In one edged conner,

The throat

Constricts

Eyes blur

A lifeline

Is pulled…

Yet it's

Dawn

Emerging

Cautiously

With someone

Needing

A cup of

Tea

Disregard

The urgency…

Or don’t …

It’s all just

A mirage,

Luring

Hiding

Pouncing

Shackling …

In life, actually

There is

No freedom

No choice

Time,

She controls

She surprises

She decides

The depth

Of joy

And pain

The rain and shine

And twinkles

As everything

Fades into nothingness ….

Time ...

She shall prevail

In mystery,

In majesty,

In glory,

She is

She will

She does

Remain
