…for my sisters beyond borders
When I cried and spoke of my fears
When I laughed and could not stop rolling
When I thought and thought and thought unaware
When I took my name and made sense of my being
When I spoke of the world only I had seen
When I started my journey of unwinding this life
When I figured I was not alone on it…
You walked by me as I walked by you
You heard me and I heard you
You felt me in your heart and I did that too…
My fears were gone and I shone as the sun
My love had a new face – no form no pun
Away from the fixtures, away from the game
My strength had faces, voices, names
I flew, I dived, I basked, I danced and ran
Through my soul’s new found country land
Let’s not spell it in a name or two
It’s abundant as life and delicate as dew…

Thats amazing land your soul found…its beautiful

Hi Benu,
This is really a nice piece of work, keep trying and you will express yourself much better everytime; does not mean this is not good, just loved the way you expressed it.
Keep it up
