When the
Refreshing wind
Blows through
Open doors
& Windows
I sit
On the hard
Wooden floor
Of my living room
At 5am
When most souls
Lie
Resting
In precious REM
Sleep
Underneath a blanket
Of a sweet hush
I take
A sip of my coffee
& Think
How disgusting
This almond drink is
Paired with this
Particular coffee
But I continue
Drinking my beverage
As I am not about
Wasting
A single
Drop
Restriction
A bird’s cage
Even if creativity
Can hatch
From within
It was
Never meant do
Dwell
Behind bars
Release it
Let it sore
Amongst
The abundance
Between
Earth
& Sky
A homage to the country that birthed me
Little heart
Little heart
How you used to
Throb
With life
& Wealth
Blessings
Coursing through
Your two
Main veins
Feeding
People
Fertile Ground
A cradle
For your
Beloved children
How they
Loathed
Your love
How they
Dripped
With jealousy
Doing everything
To stop you
Pouring poison
In your veins
& Belittling
Your beloved
Children
However they tried
They could not
Succeed
As the love
That coursed
Through your veins
Now
Runs in your children
Pumping
More passionately
& Lovingly
Than ever before
From a far distance
Love courses
Through
Your
Umbilical cord
