Humanity

Have you ever felt so empty, so shell-like, that you can no longer feel love nor pain. Weakness nor strength. Happiness nor saddness. Up nor down. The wind in your hair, the sand on your toes. The cold water on your face, that surrounds you as you slowly try to end it all. But something stops you. Something strong. Once again you can feel it all. As it rushes through your blood you collapse. You are human.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
