Fatal Leap

In the wilderness
the full moon
Shared its secrets
Only With those
Foraging in the night.

A stag scared
By the growlings
Of a beast
Fled leaping
Blindly into the darkness

His heart beating
Like distant
Warrior drums
The surroundings bush
thickens
The Trails narrows.

Desperation sets in
He leaps for more speed
Fatally snaring his
Hind legs within
A "Y" Shaped tree.

His head rest upon
The ground's coolness
Hind legs wedged
In nature's trap
Between the limbs.

In a panic struggle
To free himself
He wears out
All his strength
Breathing ends
His last sigh
Heard by no one
As the sun crest
The eastern horizon.

THIS WOULD BE TOO SAD, IF I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT 'ALL' INNOCENT SOULS PASS FROM THE TEMPORAL TO THE ETERNAL. IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE...HE'S STILL LEAPING. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Reads like you have seen it happen. Beautifully crafted and horrifying. Even the best at navigating nature can have pitfalls. But it's usually the young that are most susceptible. Why so few reach adulthood in a dangerous world.

"Fatal Leap!" It's a lovely piece of work.
Only it's very sad for the poor Stag,
as it could happen!

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
