hours of darkness...

thoughts float across the mind
as I look
outside the window
with the earth gone into a temporary dark blind
not a sound I hear
except of automation...
and my heart beats
fluttering with excitement and fear
in anticipation
of moments to come
and times to be crossed
a temporary gestation
before the dawn breaks out
and the blinds get drawn
while my beating heart withdraws
and calms
in the knowing
of luck
that another day has been got.

What does it mean ... Purposeless ness of our existence .foolishness of Optimism , Craving for something meaning ful to Prove our being .

Its Easy to be Beast then Man .

* Hazel: I understand the sentiments...We can think individually - and I guess that is also why humans at times are more beastly than the beasts themselves...

Hazel Dream said...

but even in our beastality we try to search Purpose or reason.

there's a difference between cold bloodiness and being a 'beast'... we, unfortunately, can be both.

nice..seems appropriately perfect for a thought that would appear at 1.00 am !!

Hazel Dream said...

cold bloodiness and being a 'beast'... well these are very subjective and relative terms ..we all define these terms in our own perspective.
human judgement is too flawed because it is currpoted with our mean purpose and in a way our judgement judges us
