A New View

In such grieving times
I wonder how the sky can shine so bright
and the flowers bloom so wide.

Fate has left me nothing more
than the remains of a once
inspiring dream.

I look to what is called heaven
and see nothing but endless
shades of grey and the blur
of my broken soul.

The wings that I once used to
fly away with are now tattered
and useless for the means of my escape.

You would think that the world
would notice the pain of its inhabitants.

But no.

If I look around me everything
is as it should be with their laughter
and their tears.

What justice is this that I must feel
such suffering when the only
troubles they have is themselves.

Perhaps this is not that way to go.

I walked around a corner and for
the first time in many times,
I saw a miracle.
Such beautiful colours

I smiled.
