A razor-sharp sliver of ray slits the dark and leaden sky,
Unzips it slowly and deliberately to reveal a hue of orange and red,
A fish eagle calls soulfully, mournfully, echoing in his head,
The screen enlarges, brightens, figures are born, change and die.
The dark sky swallows itself, spews out light, the leaden sky belie,
The echoes in his head clutter and clang, the light begins to spread.
The message is clear: "False evidence appears real, why do you dread?"
The pent-up dark energy within him burst out and retreats with a sigh.
His mind coaxes, the body relinquishes, light within him starts to grow,
The heavenly panorama before him keeps him dumbstruck with awe.
And all the doubts and darkness like hot molten lava from him does flow,
The Suffering – It never was God's plan. Within him existed the flaw.
So again, it had to take Nature for him vividly to tell and his folly show,
His mind at ease, he smiles and yet again his Creator him patiently adore.

Zithelo Mnguni: "This is absolutely beautiful, vivid descriptions as well"- Venessa: "The Suffering – It never was God's plan. Within him existed the flaw.
A beautiful poem, thank you. This is my favourite line. The Suffering - helps to name and detach us from all the pain that is part of life. I agree, pain isn't part of God's plan. The 'flaws' are ours, so true, and through the realisation of this comes responsibility and acceptance of our own 'folly'."
