I absorb moments like a sponge
And speak in reasons
Found only to be true
By my like kinds

Weathered friends
Are far away
From my soul
Though I desire their closeness-
Like a mother to her kin

Wanting nothing but satisfied hearts
I keep writing
And feeling the world
As though I have lived only once

I shan’t be without
Like the birds who have their food
I have my words as my comfort
And my true feelings as my audience

I will never leave you
Amongst dark clouds...

We only sing songs-
From our breaths…
When there is no distance
Between freedom
And the guarding of our souls
