My Love

 
This is my love 
 
I didn't help the dragonfly
immobilized on his back in the scorching sun
struggling to survive
his flaying wings barely even caught my eye 
as if I should give a shit
I didn't gentle turn him to set him free
I didn't bother to put him out of his misery 
I didn't magnify or amplify his torture 
I simply faded at his time of need
I merely glanced as he thrashed
flailed, twisted and reeled 
and then, thoughtlessly
stepped him out of view                                                                     
 
This is my love
 
I did kick off my shoes
brush my toes in the cool grass
as the scorching sun sweetly kissed me

A very poignant, powerful write....very sad how something so small can parallel into something very big.


Israel Zacharias - on Feb. 19 2011

Matthew 13:44
 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
