Corbett 23:55

Today has been a highly satisfying day.

I felt in control.

I made choices I could.

I was me. 

Unadulterated

Confident, risky, careful.

A doer again.

Funny yet serious,

Adventurous yet stupid.

Pushed myself,

Was pushed, 
Charged yet satiated.
I have grown already. Each second of this day.

Unknowingly maybe.

But the pitter-patter and two children sleeping remind me of it.
I could have cried or screamed but instead I laughed and sank,

Into the cow pat pit,

Go figure. 

While I listen to the rain, 
While I listen to the rain.

Tiger Territory

I stand a silent spectator.

The sounds of the crickets,
Fighting with a angry river.
Who shall win?
The rain gods pouring down maybe?
The silence deafening. 
The darkness, 
Comforting.
Kosi on her dash…
While the silt wants a rest.
The sounds that comfort me.
In the unrest, there is peace.
In the cacophony,
There is silence.
Tired yet rested.
While I watch my friends sleep.
While I hear the walls rattle in the gale.
Somewhere a voice speaks to me.
Somehow I find silence.
