NO WORLD

I saw the world go down in flames

while you and I stood majestically

inside the perimeter of our own being.

I saw them devouring the idea of the world

while you and I occupied the circle of our mutual self

and silently gazed at the goings – on.

I saw that there was no world and

I didn't cry anymore, for you and I remained

and we carried on as we always have...
