Let me cite a story in this post. And the answer to where I found this tale is like most stories that pinch beneath our skin - "It found me".
It happened before time, in the lawns of the Lord,
Where there was no hatred, no place for the sword.
It happened beyond clouds, in the endlessness and void.
It begun with innocence, and that itself was destroyed.
There played two tiny angels, on the green glazing grass,
Two hearts that bled love, anything else was more crass.
Two souls that were in search, of something so true,
They played until they laughed, then played again too.
Suddenly they gasped, they could no more run,
But something was wanted, they had room for more fun.
Elif , the older one, hit Mia as a trial,
And when she saw no harm, hit again after a while.
Mia smiled, "Don't hit me",she said, "I am weak."
But Elif thought just 'one', won't be the final tweak.
She hit her again, and laughed, smiled, sighed,
Mia smiled back ofcourse, said "Now I have to die".
Elif asked what she can do, but wave her goodbye,
For things were beyond what she could reach trying.
Elif gave a few tears, asked 'Where would you go?',
"Home," Mia said, "I'll be waiting you know".
The luxury of atonement, Elif had not anymore.
Stories are stagnant, reality moves farther than before.
But the serenity that grabs, in the million moments recalled,
Will keep the nothing of today, a festival through time evolved.
June 21 has the longest day of the year. I predict it has the longest night too and I can die to believe otherwise.
