Deviation Actions
Literature Text
Picture perfect scene of tranquility
Comfort’s deceptive guise
Its owner kept quiet
His loved ones in the dark
Silence aids his downfall
His attention stolen from them
By fast cars and charismatic stars
Have they the heart to tell him?
The warning that hovers over him
And rains on them with heartbreak
Indolence leads to his departure
His stay is cut short
As is his life of leisure
Loved ones gather, his wife among them
Drenched in pain and loss of hope
Their faith has been shattered
The confidence that times would change
And that the elder’s chair need no longer fear his absence
Warmth and comfort remain
But will the two ever meet again?
“Bid farewell to your companion”
Did the elder hear her?
Can he recognize his lover’s voice?
How can she pull him away?
