    The abbreviated mirror of your life is but the one sure-fire, solid flash in time and space of your lived heartbeat. Yet for you it is priceless microcosmic history. You ponder, pacing your path, wondering: "Who can decide the hesitant decisions of your next steps, if your existence is at a crossroads?

    We cannot venture into a jungle of sneaky, corruptible masses of people. Existence is short, barely a day-old egg; pregnant with anxiety. Our reason would rebel against it, but we are silent for the umpteenth time. The hyena-claw of dangers is ever upon us, and like a stalking beast of prey, watches our faltering footsteps.

    The poppy-eyed mounds of our lives, like the purple cups of our hearts, scarce keep us alive: we cultivate them with unceasing stubborn selfishness till our heart attacks, our organ-killers, are torn - our soul's strength, like a taut rope, is like the yawning throat of the chasms we fear, cowardly and bravely, before the yawning throat of the chasms - we fear our loved ones.

    In our shortened lives, multiple miracles are rarely conceived; physiological biologies pass on as an organisational legacy the handles to our continued existence as a second human. Love flutters up and down the laces of the Universe like a secret mediating cauldron-boat, and each time it sends a comforting glow through!

    When the last sustained breath in us shall die away, And our organs of their own free will shall cease their daily deceitful struggles, In the immortal arms of my Beloved, in comfort blessed, I may find again what I thought long lost! My body too is in agony, how, amidst the gnawing pains, how much longer can I endure?!
