Like A Teapot

I received this from someone who was experiencing the same turmoil as expressed. He did not know that I was composing a response to his message at the very same time he chose to send it, as darkening thoughts and clouds quickly gathered in his mind with each minute passed. It captures the restless feelings, which we all experience at some point, very well. I like it very much.

There's No Heaven
By dschelpe

What just happened? you ask, puzzled.
What is happening? I wonder.
A look at the board,
A king is one move away to getting trapped in a mating maze.
Investigating looks, analyzing,
No more moves are made.
What now?
A mutual thought?
I stand up,
lichees untouched,
No dessert,
puzzled, unsure and insecure,
I stumble to the door.
