Stop, I scream
but no one dares to listen
drones at work
busily making the world go round
with self-important duties.
Listen to the birds sing, I whisper
trying not to interrupt their song
falling on deaf ears.
Enough, I weep
soul longing for solitude
and reverent corners
where thoughts become dreams
and dreams turn into reality.
One more minute, I beg
body struggling against a dangling spirit
falsely teasing freedom that never seems to come.
Today, I promise
dark shadows lifting
blindly prodding movement into the sun.
