Beyond the Dream
I cannot leap since I’m engulfed
Within the domain of war
A demarcation in my mind it jostles
This land is of mine to savior the heart says
As when the wind caresses the whiff of vinegar
This wide prairie land in my eyes
I spread my wings as if freedom is with me
Poignancy I feel since the cloud masquerades
The silvery fliers to the land
I squeak, my sweet child transfixes
My mind dwells in qualm
Smothered by dark dream
With the silhouette of smoke that billows
The callous winds caresses as the siren bellows
Hearts shrieks in yonder
It’s just within an inch of distance
Where I might feel safe
The land may not be of mine to tread
As a different identity I’m marked
Can I quell my shredded heart?
I wonder if the same place
I would embrace with my heart
And find the same palpitation
Over my tattered body that glorifies
For one benign home to cook edible foods
And, peace would shower
With an arrival of a divine messenger
Even when I can’t think of my age as years drift
The sunset might tell in the feeble winter
To not remember the hymn of a minnow
That withers along with the relic of debris
Somewhere far in my home
