3. DIVIDERS

A divider of polished bricks separated the road; segregating a battalion of traffic meticulously,

Preventing unruly accidents; ensuring that vehicles traversed at electric speeds.

A divider of thunder clouds separated the crystal sky from earth,

Obfuscating it from indispensable sunshine; inundating its surface with an ocean of stormy rain.

A divider of dense leaf; separated the slender tree from the wind,

Cloistering it from uncouth gaze of trespassers; impregnating it with loads of passionate warmth.

A divider of charged barbed wire; separated the house from the illuminated street;

Harboring its occupants in fortified custody; shielding them from vindictive

glances of the society.

A divider of entwined fur; separated the grizzly bear from atmosphere,

Protecting his skin from freezing winds and bitter cold; incorporating his persona with a thoroughly mystical look.

A divider of radiant flowers; separated the orchard from the polluted city,

Flooding the sir with a sweet fragrance of piquant scent; attracting scores of bees to hum in rambunctious discordance.

A divider of feathers; separated the majestic peacock from the unethical vulture,

Depicting its magnanimous splendor to all in vicinity; spreading waves of wild

euphoria when spotted in rain.

A divider of blistering sand; separated the desert from common land,

Granting it the status of being virtually invincible; hosting a plethora of kingly cactus and crab.

A divider of brutality separated; the devil from sacrosanct God,

Assassinating blissful traces of benevolence; rendering the world a disaster to live in.

And a divider of her perpetual love; separated me from the mundane earth,

Saving me from the tyranny of blending with the deplorable; imprisoning me in bonds of celestial romance.
