A call of reckoning

by Renton de Alwis


Somewhere,
beyond it all, I could hear
me walking through
a wall to reach
to touch to feel
it’s might

weakened to care
to let the soft wind
blow those strands of hair
fallen on a forehead bare

I stay stunned
frozen like
ice that needs a pixel tool
to make a carving
of a phoenix rising
not out of the ashes
but of bits and bytes
 
of dreams shattered and scattered
to be picked with touching care
to sew with it a patchwork quilt
to keep warm yes just to keep warm. 






a repost.
