I soar freely through the air,
High above the heavens
Floating,
Like a bird
Light as a feather
Wind in my wings
For the first time,
My eyes open wide
Then, nothing.
Flooding through me
A bursting dam of pain
I close my eyes
I falter, I fall
Like an asteroid
Crashing to the ground
Difficult to live with
Mortality is
Like losing a game,
Being punished for each wrong movement
Our paths are forced into
The hands of God
Caught in
The game of Life

Hi there! My name's Madi and I'm an aspiring author. I really enjoy reading modernised fairy tales, and retellings of classic stories, and I hope to write my own in the future. Fantasy stories are my go-to reads.

Engulfing Light
I have not been very successful in quieting my mind this evening. I find that as time goes by, I find myself in deeper contemplation, in regards to the purpose of my life. I can say with certainty, that thus far, I have had a life, that with all things considered, has been a well lived one.
