Two Dimensional

How powerful is two dimensional?

Even without the third dimension

Of reality,

Of touch,

Freezing fleeting moments for an eternity;

That could not last,

Can never come back to life,

Into tiny pixels in thousands

With such intricate detail.

How compassionate is two dimensional?

To let imagination wander

As carefree, careless brush strokes

Fill the empty canvas of life

With no bounds known

That brutal realities confine.

Two dimensional,

That's all I have for now.
