split second

i stayed up late last night studying for exams in the "common room" just outside my bedroom. the sliding door was wide open, so a few different insects came in - including a beautiful white butterfly.
it was happily flying around - it went outside then came in again, i couldnt help noticing it every time it flew anywhere in front of me.

time passed, and while i was deeply concentrating in my revision, i heard a soft noise coming from the fan on the wall - looking up, i saw the butterfly laying there on top of the sofa right under the fan, with its wings in a funny position. it didnt move, except its wings moving softly, due to the wind which was STILL blowing from the fan.

**

the beautiful butterfly - who was happily fluttering around peacefully - is now dead. in a split second - without the slightest warning.

and there's another being there, in that beautiful house, peaceful environment, around happy people, living like as though it's gonna last forever


|| Ya Allah, please keep me in your deen, every day, every hour, every second - for as long as this heart is beating ||


we all know that life is gonna end one day, but we choose whether we want to live by that fact - and sadly, most people dont, including myself.

hehe. reading back, it really sounds out of "rythm" or "tone" or "flow" or whatever u want to call it. ^_^

somehow the whole post was a bit out of place. nope, not the message. but the sentences are a bit - em - "ew"? if that's the right word....
