Flight from Singapore to Dubai

Look, seek, search, struggle
Love, lose, feel, struggle
Stay still, swim, sail, struggle
Fight, want, cry, struggle,
Live, halt, wonder, struggle
Look, afar, for the calm,
Seek, here, for possibility,
Search, forever, for meaning,
Struggle, but, through the storm,
The moment, we call life
Love, only, with everything,
Lose, with grace, once or again,
Feel, fully, for a moment,
Struggle, but, into humbling pain
The eternity, we call life
Stay still, the moment after,
Swim, vanishing shore behind,
Sail, with faith unshattered,
Struggle, but, for one breath
The sensation, we call life
Fight, alongside your shadow,
Want, through deep hollow,
Cry, for one’s soul to save
Struggle, yes, with wounds
The victory, we call life
Live, with the past in sight,
Halt, often, for teared escape,
Wonder, if to win is to survive...
Or struggle, but, without another,
To emptiness, we call life
