The proposal
A soliloquy
Let me reminisce! The ways of today aren’t as good as yesterday.
I remember this old town. Where the children laughed and played. O’Wont you take me back, back down to memory lane.
When I looked into her eyes, a sudden joy took me by surprise.
Like a freshly plucked feather dancing to the wind, I was enchanted by the way she used to play buttercup with my chin.
Yes, remembering us together. Wished that it could last forever. Took a photo. Kept it longer; stored inside my memory bin.
Through troubled times, hold on to the one that makes you smile; for it makes life worth it all the while.
Though life can be a bumpy road, at least I’d have someone to hold.
Indeed, the moments that I shared with her, is worth more than pure gold.
Enough daydreaming of the past! This time I found a way to make things last.
With this ring, dare I ask her?
Yes! a happily ever-after…Is what I’m after.

The warning of the grass seed floating in the wind.
“ I can see beyond the mountains, but only when the sunsets. And when it comes to pass, I wait until sunrises. To descend beyond the mountains. To find what I had seen in the absence of the light. In this total state of darkness, I see beyond the graze. The troubles of the flowers that tithes to the rain. For I am a seed blown by the wind. I can see the direction of the sun, the shadow of the land, but that does not factor in my final resting place. I glide with no strength of my own; guided by the force of thee above. I witness the uncertain destruction of the scenery, as it changes its colors from green to crimson. I have forgotten the melody of the wind. So engrossed at the beauty of the flowers glowing in the moonlight, that I had forgotten what I was meant to do and become; grass. For this I fear:

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
