When the World Held Its Breath

When the world seem to hold its breath
Water starts to collect at the bottom lid of eye
Out of nowhere; lips trembled to speak in dark
Hands danced trying to express the inner words
In sight of no audience a spirit howled in me
Asking whether we deserved it or not
Manifesting no difference in past and present
Seeking a hand to ensure there is good in future.

The world is a dark, dangerous place to try and navigate dear Sisira. Bad things happen to good people daily. As for me, I believe a better future will come under God's kingdom. Nice to meet you
