The Rabbit as White as Snow

The rabbit as white as snow

Lost in the forest of life
I wander around aimlessly
Just as I decide to give up hope
I see a rabbit as white as snow

Its skin seems so warm and soft
Its eyes fixed on the rough and dirty ground
It settles down so gracefully
I must be blind if it has flaws

We stared at each other from a distance
Both intrigued by something new
Time ticked faster and faster
The rabbit gets up from its rest

Time is the substance that pushes me
Like a benevolent hand on my shoulder
The creature became my forest guide
And there is no way I would lose it now

I slowly approach the majestic being
And its ears prick up
An hour became a minute
And soon the rabbit began running

I chase hurriedly after it
Catching a glimpse of things that I lost
Love, sympathy, faith
I can only pick up pieces as I run past

My breathe is running out
I’m beginning to lose my only goal
Just as I am about to collapse
A deer appears from the stream

Carried by my new companion
I catch up to my only hope
A flash of light blinds my eyes
The light is coming from the outside

Now that I’m free
I should be content
But my desire hasn’t faded
The rabbit as white as snow

Leaping off from the deer
I head straight for the hare
And I notice something to my horror
Behind the rabbit is a burrow

My last glimpse of the rabbit
Is of its fluffy white tail
Which moves gently
as it burrows into the hole

Almost as if it was waving goodbye

I desperately dig where it had been
Realisation starts to dawn upon me
The more I dig
The further it gets

I had been a complete fool

A sharp pain drags me back to reality
I look down to see my own blood
Flowing from my fingernails
Like dark red streams

I let out a shout of anger
Which turns into weeps of sorrow
And finally I cry with all I have
I don’t want to stop

All my emotions began to pour out
Along with my tears and voice
Pain and despair
Hope and anger

After what seemed like hours
I touch my emotionless face
My mind is null
Am I still human?

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping
I cannot remember the strange dream I had
For all that I know
I was born without a voice

Lost in the forest of life
I wander around aimlessly
Just as I decide to give up hope
I see a rabbit as white as snow

A weird liquid drips from my eyes
Nothing like this had ever happened before
But for some reason
It feels right.
