Everything was grey, and i was pretty much the only one walking around.. but i saw a penguin.
At first i didn't know what was in the distance and then amongst the sand and grass lay this tiny fairy penguin, lifeless.
Possibly the saddest thing all day. It was truly beautiful though, i could almost imagine it waddling around near the water. But it was gone.
I wonder if his family misses him? I wonder what happened to him? Did he just drift away from everyone else around him and end up in a dead end?
I feel like part of me relates to him, drifting... something i seem to know so much about.
Anyhow, it's not even penguin season. What was he doing out here? The water isn't near cold enough for him.
I sat by him for a while, just thinking.
And then as quietly as possible i bowed out and left almost as if i was afraid to disturb his peace.
I wonder if there's a heaven? if there is, is there a hell?
or is it all childlike stories to make those still left upon the earth feel better?
i guess that's something i'll never know, but if there is.. i hope that penguin found his way there.
