in the desert of hopes, dreams buried in times,
fumbling for the courage to walk to the distant home
snow melting desires to climb the peak
when an ant climbs with the crust of sugar
when a wounded pigeon catches a leaf
alone at the cross-road of life
awoken with broken dreams
carrying the shards of relations
when mizzle pat on the cheek
when warm sunny hands hold me tight
penniless under the plentiful stars
drowned in the mire of hatred
sailing in the sinking ship of sorrow
dazzle to see the dancing daffodils of angels
developing forlorn trust among strangers
collapsing body, crushed in the collision
tattered mind meandering on the memory lane
freezing body thawed in the snow mountain
when the heat of the sun melts and pierces my bones
when light kindle my mind and soul
I learn that I am not alone…..
