Written for 3WW Prompts: Willingly, Taint, Plausible
Wings of Happier Thoughts...
He looked down to see
His reflection in the water
No, nothing could be seen on his face
No invisible spots which would otherwise
Be visible to the eyes of soul,
And his soul confirmed the truth
Through his own eyes
That he couldn’t be termed ‘tainted’
A clean spirit whose burden
He had carried willingly over the years…
Still some impurities in human form
Had been busy spreading false propaganda
Which he had failed to understand
As he could never find a plausible reason
Except perhaps for one… could it be…
That some ‘powers’ craved to see
His spirit getting broken in to
Hundreds of shining pieces, oh,
How they wanted each piece
To turn in to a trophy to be proudly
Displayed in the dark corners
Of their own inner spaces
Where their egos dwelled…
But they failed, for he didn’t fight
In spite of their provocations
And quietly withdrew from the battlefield
Created in his mind, his spirit cheered..
In those moments of light
Fluttering newly grown
Wings of happier thoughts
Descending back to his world of reality
He looked down to see
His reflection in the water..
