Caged

Caged Freedom to dwell wherever I tread Not confined to locations with boundaries Zoning, districts, busing Unleash me so I can roam free To see mountains and rivers and trees of all sorts To open up and breathe in fresh air Somewhere where the sky is not blocked but in plain view Uncage me so I can go FREE.

The Heart That Keeps On Beating

THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING It has the most important job. Wounded yet it never skips a beat. There is no gluing or stitching involved, it just continues to work, as if oblivious to attacks. It’s a wonder and many are in awe of it. It’s the pumper of life. Sometimes it’s carelessly handled and is crushed easily. Many are not conscious of its fragileness.

The question as two distant parts – Who is this ‘I’… Continue
