Release

The suffocation in my lungs releases a breath at a time
There is no strength in my spine
But I stack bricks instead.
I see the moon after nights and hours
I see faces in flesh after a lifetime
Emotions other than survival and fear fill me
Tears well up my eyes-
I see the sun from the eyes of so many trees.
Time twists itself to fit its magnanimous presence
In my small head,
I cry in remembrance
I cry in gratitude.
Hands have grown with rings on them,
My nails have grown so much too.
Life is piercing me from all sides,
I am another lost bird with a soul.
Cities brimming with clouds and stories
Surrender to the groud- rain comes crashing down.
Dreams are reflections of ocean in wells-
A yellow leaf swaying away and away
With the endless blue waves.
