Not many are sitting on Death Row for draining the life force of soul because invisible crimes today, always, are simply swept under the mat. The mat has bumps here, there, everywhere, but we walk as if nothing exists until sleep overcomes the day and soul has a chance to pray. Maybe it prays for harmony, and molehills to not be mountains, or maybe it prays for compassion for those who have no empathy. Maybe it prays or maybe it moans and asks for relief from the fray like a babe in the throes of hunger or a stray cat on my windowsill. The mystery of soul and who really knows whether puffed up with glee or drowning in pools of humanity as the days turn into weeks. But the life force of soul not fragile yet smiles and swims with the tide and that’s why no one is sitting behind the bars of Death Row! Helen / 20 May 2010 |
