One day you’ll find the essence of this life.

It’ll be a long drawn breath, a pause, a flutter

a crawling shiver piercing through your spine.

It’ll just reveal itself to you.

A thousand words will melt your veins,

as the sky will scream your name

in silence. And the night will be yours,

transparent dreams filling the void.

It’ll be a cushion, like water you’ll inhale,

it will expand within your wonder

and scorch it as it holds you, makes you part

of overwhelming waves of light.

No shackles will withhold your burning wrists.

They’ll just fall off. And then you will be free.
