Just a sample for my readers 🙂
….
Alright, I’m here: Almost fully aware.
To you I’m just a rare sound, a mystical voice
In comparison to most of the noise
humans make throughout their lives,
in their busy-buzzing, urbanized hives.
You come on Earth: a soul screaming in pain.
You trade knowledge for a mere physical gain.
There is not much you can bring with yourself too.
You come here naked: able to develop a skill or two,
with some intuition or talent, beauty, and charm,
or a bit of intelligence… A lot of it can do you harm.
Overall, there isn’t much else you can smuggle.
And I must say, in this space-time struggle,
which most people misinterpret as “Life”,
sadly the odds are next to none to survive.
It’s a lot easier to give, take, exchange – just spend,
knowing that Death is an inevitable, upcoming event.
Speaking of time and space:
There’s never enough of either in this earthy place.
Most humans take from others, a version of it by force,
or in a more civilized manner: with money, of course…
You always strive for more comfort, influence, respect…
And whatever you decide to accept or reject
must be announced to many people around!
Your voice must become the most amplified sound.
You know best right from wrong and normal from strange.
You want to make a difference: the biggest radical change.
You have been born with the most important needs,
based on which you judge other people’s deeds.
Don’t frown, this is every human’s point of view…
And as much as I wish this tale to be all about you,
before we begin there’s one last thing to be clarified:
This is going to be a different type of a wordy ride.
There won’t be a precious stone, a villain to fight
or heroes that save the world overnight…
This story begins in four different places,
with four little beasts, who, besides having similar faces,
most importantly share rather peculiar bodily features
that belongs to a rare kind of divine, winged creatures…
