Behind the fragile countenance
Amidst the plaintive eyes
Despite the ponderous load
It’s a wonder why she’s as gentle and mild

even without wings
i am free-
to forget what is hurting
to me;
even without wings
i can fly-
to soar above pains

Like a newly-caught
fish brought ashore,
Here I am gasping for breath..

I was on an indefinite hiatus from December 21, 2008 due to unforeseen circumstances…..it was another difficult phase in my life…but then again, on January 30, 2008, here I come slowly getting out of my self-made cocoon….
