The reflection of the moon and stars from the dark water have my attention, I stand still...gazing, as if in a trance The ripple of the current adds some kind of hypnotic effect to the reflection. I am not a romantic person, neither am I drawn to deep musings of time and space. Yet here I am, hanging on the bridge, looking down into the abyss lit up by the reflection of the stars. Is there anything different about the stars tonight? An apt skill for a cotton farmer, predicting rainfall, studying the night sky... for clouds and loss of stars Something I believe I'm good at. But as I study the reflection, rainfall is not on my mind.. the stars urge me to look up, away from the blackness and into the possibilities, as I stare down at the sharp contrast of blinking light against the harsh ripples of the deep black sea my eyes get intense.. Alas! a profound insight dawns on me; _if not tonight, then tomorrow and if not tomorrow, then the next but the stars will shine._ I see it now from the reflection and I fear no longer I release the breath that has choked me for months and and the freedom makes me smile a little, I climb over the railing. Even if it's just for the night, I've found a reason to go on. #Notosuicide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJK3J1SFFEc?si=Y7-RNGuUup4I4Ity 4 Likes 1 Share |
