A tale of Sanity

Info

I woke up from my deepest slumber beneath the rubble.

It had been decades since my last vision.

Naked above waist, I broke free from my cradle.

O' it had been decades since I last walked, I crawled towards dust.

Skeletons everywhere and there was me, unworn from the ship.

The first ray of sunlight since decades shone so bright, that I doubted my eyes.

The cold air sent shivers down my spine. More shivers, than seeing siberian tigers let loose.

Than to witness buildings in a heap of weed.

I thought to myself "nature is a free bird now!"

A jaguar approached, to prove my point. He preyed and preyed. Harder than prayers.

And then walked away.

" Nature indeed is a mystery", I thought to myself.

As far as I could see and as sensitive as I could here, the life form that spoke no more existed.

I hogged fruits.

I didn't want to die, that selfish human I was.

Then I thought to myself, "Why jail nature?"

The sound of streams flow through streets was gush.

O' God, I mean, O' water, it'd been decades since I touched her.

Since the shoes of an infant, I wanted to dip into wetness and scale the tallest of mountains.

I looked beneath and there she was, the ever flowing stream. The calm arrogance creating it's way through canyons and monuments,

A rather humongous one, through the concrete jungle.

"Bye bye ", I said to everyone. Ohh my! What a time to learn to swim.

My first dive was the best of my life.
