Passage

Dark room No light shines through; Coldness precipitates ~~~~~~~~~ Post-It note Message in brief; Lunch meeting detour ~~~~~~~~~ Birthday party Another milestone; Planet earth agrees ~~~~~~~~~ Celebration party Family banquet; Feast for fond hearts ~~~~~~~~~ Shopping spree Goodies galore; Window shopping ~~~~~~~~~ Busy occupations Soldier and teacher; Love affair complete ~~~~~~~~~ Ancient tree Witness to happenings; Keeps fond secrets ~~~~~~~~~ Deserted alley Midnight raindrops; Black cat rowdy ~~~~~~~~~ Quayside bum boats Buoyant swaying; Chilly winds ply ~~~~~~~~~ Library card Relic of old; Digital revolution ~~~~~~~~~ My neighbour's child Stares curiously; Lift congregation ~~~~~~~~~ Ghost writing project Fill in the blanks; Glorify the boss ~~~~~~~~~ Death comes stealing Prey beyond pray; Not much to say ~~~~~~~~~ Corpse in casket Dead relative; Healthy cremation ~~~~~~~~~ Eulogy message So and so lived; Now death prevails ~~~~~~~~~ Thought for the day: Be brave and kind; Make up your mind ~~~~~~~~~ Look beyond words Meaning survives; Only in light ~~~~~~~~~ Be not afraid Darkness is canvas; Stars now come out ~~~~~~~~~ Evening passage Journey home; Beyond despair ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 28 August 2014 Singapore
