Introspection


Squandering in the meadow
In the darkness of the shadow
I saw the sun blazing hard
Shapes falling apart

When things fell back into place
I found myself with a new face
With burning pictures all around
I was burning my house to the ground
Thick smoke rose all around
Blinding my eyes, it took me by my hand
Landed me on an unfamiliar land
Gigantic people walked in the merry town
Baffled, I ran around in the scary town
Afraid, I searched for a hiding hole
Like a tiny mole
Whilst the moon burned my soul.

Death of a star!

I watched the folks in a jewellery store, gaping at the gold led before. They smiled and awed at the shining gold, and wondered why. Unaware, ignorant of the fact that it once shone brightly in the sky. In order for us to live, A star must die! The sun, the moon, the planets and asteroids, including    the earth where we reside. Once shone brightly in the sky. In order for us to live, A star must die! The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the life we love, and the death we fear, it’s possible because  it  died. The things we love each other for to the gold we kill each other for, once brightly shone in the sky. In order for us to live, a star must die! A star that lived before us, brightly shone in the sky. It still shines brightly, as us, now that it has died. In order for us to live, a star must die! A star must die!       ...

Note: This is a prologue of a short story that I have to write. I need suggestions on sentence formation, grammar and writing style, so feel free to criticise.  'I must reach the sun', I thought looking at the hundreds of glistening pieces of our beloved star. A giant fireball cut into pieces by the icy ocean. My body went numb to save me from dying. But for how long? The funny thing about our sophisticated human body is that, when it's submerged into water at subzero temperature; the blood is withdrawn from our limbs and torso then sent to our brain to save it from dying. But the only possible way for it to survive is to get out of the water. So how can it survive if the body is numb and unmovable? How can I? But I have to live. I must live. I must reach the sun. My body craves for oxygen; I have to breathe. I must move. I must reach the sun.                     ***
