In the ancient city of Pompeii, it's residents rest in ruins. The catastrophe desecrated the area but not their spirits. Seldom but surely, the blue moon visits the lost city and brings life back to the metropolis. Pompeii proudly lives on, as if nothing had ever happened. Smoke violently erupts out of a chimney. The baker who bakes the best bread in Pompeii decided to sell muffins as well, in order to rake in some extra cash as if nothing had ever happened. An infant resting in her mother's arms, has been crying for a while now. The tired mother still sings her child's favourite lullaby and rocks her to sleep, as if nothing had ever happened. The blacksmith that was looking for a new striker, finally found one. The apprentice holds onto the hot ductile metal as the blacksmith pounds away. Both the apprentice and the alley, listen to the reverberation caused by the metals clashing, as if nothing had ever happened. Usually the parents are strict about the curfew after 9 but the children convinced them otherwise. They were racing past each other and time, as if nothing had ever happened. Some scholars were busy pondering while some were busy debating, juggling wisdom from one hand to another. Others were digging deep down into the books, burning page after page. They were all trying to swim through the vast sea of knowledge, as if nothing had ever happened. There is an abundance of Romeos and Juliets in Pompeii. With passion and lust dripping from air, the plethora of beloveds make love to each other as if nothing had ever happened. Even the dogs can't help themselves but to howl away, as if nothing had ever happened. When a part of the world sleeps, Pompeii awakens from it's slumber. They persist, in order to remind Mount Vesuvius that they are still there as if nothing had ever happened. Not a lot changed except for the fact that the happy city of Pompeii is now full of lively ghosts. Creation requires destruction. For something new to be created, the old must be destroyed. #words #writersofinstagram #writers #art #spilledink #writerscommunity #love #passion #destruction #creation #ghosts #pompeii #creative #typewriters #indianwriters #writersnetwork https://www.instagram.com/p/BpOUJGehXEG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uv9x1srzj9u9
