Contemplate This : Chapters 1-6

Chapter 1:

Contemplate this...
End of life,
Forever darkness,
A place to hide,

( A middle aged man stands 
close to the edge. Enveloped  
in darkness he looks down, 
rain whips his face. In the 
blackness below, 
splinters of white, as waves 
crash)

Chapter 2:

Contemplate this...
Accept...life is bad,
Depressed, oppressed, 
Time line sad,

( He ponders, is this how it will 
always be? should it end here? 
, an exorcism of sadness) 

Chapter 3: 

Contemplate this ...
Those who wronged,
Synthetic weak,
You... inherent strong,

(But no, saved by a lucid 
moment, a thought takes hold ,  
not to let the selfish 
confessions of another lead to a 
leap of lost faith) 

Chapter 4:

Contemplate this..
Run away,
Re-invent,
A born again day, 

(He steps back, walks away 
, leaves all behind, and 
whilst others sleep oblivious, a 
new path beckons , to live , to 
love and to be loved) 

Chapter 5:

Contemplate this...
A giver of hope,
Someone to hold,
A reason to cope,

( He sees her, they 
share a glance, they share a 
few tentative words, they 
share the same 
desires) 

Chapter 6:

Contemplate this...
Dreams fall true,
Entwined with an angel,
Loved are you,

( He finds the purist of love, the 
hurt is no more, happiness 
floods his every moment.....he no longer 
stands close to the edge )
