There is nothing more tragic than reality.


When small pieces of love
are blown away by a single breath of wind
in a whirlpool of broken sentences,
you stand still at the center and watch them
dancing in disturbed,
tired patterns
till they gradually fall on the concrete, 
placing themselves
like a longing that found its end before life.
You don't rush to get hold of them.
You don't try to put them back in their right places.
You let go, for now and forever
because there is nothing more tragic than reality.

  8. True to its depth and breadth, reality gives you something to ponder about. Tragic indeed when it comes to certain things and balancing for some other. Great one, Vi!
