I have something to say

I have something to say

Days that have left long ago,

Come back as waves, and wet my feet.

Don’t leave us, is what I hear from them,

I have a cave of thoughts,

On the beach;

I throw them onto the sea,

Off and on;

They come back with the same tune,

As habits of moments,

Pleading and lamenting,

I see them as sands.

They were rocks of the yore.

I get onto my boat.

Wear the mask to breathe and take a deep dive,

The rock starts dropping down and down…

I am deep inside,

Hear no noise now…

Fellow creatures floating;

Deeper I dive

Farther I move from the noisy surface.

There is silence

Absolute, immeasurable in time and days

I have come to the bed now…

And in this liquid stability,

I see me settling down…

I see my home, like my mom’s womb,

From where I came when the waters broke,
Though I wonder on the need,

Moments pass, in floating admiration.

Time to return now, like the waves on the shore

I move up, and up, and up

I get onto the boat and see the land afar.

I have something to say to those pleading days,

I take off my mask to breathe again.
