The Last Stanza
Resurrection of Dreams
glazed pair of eyes
fixated on a valley of hills
the curves
the highs
the lows
green and yellow
shade and sun
weakened pair of legs
standing on cold concrete floor
cold concrete room
cold concrete walls
sad, lone (in)sanity
voices overheard
in fragments
sneers felt
in snippets
firm grip on the wrist
a jerk
a pull
then run
creep and crawl
through cracks and holes
glazed eyes animate
weak legs find strength
escaping voices and sneers
following the lead; a girl
navigating through the maze
holding tight between her fingers
a thin wrist; a boy
attaining his flit
from jeer and judgment
cold floor and
confinement
this is the resurrection of his dreams.

Along with studies, she is involved with 1 Degree Initiative, a youth organization that encourages small acts of kindness to make a difference, and is a regular contributor to Expressez-Vous, an international blog site. She has been writing poetry mostly for herself, but now feels that it is time to share it with the wider world. She is interested in reading, music, dancing and traveling (which she hasn't done as much as she would like to.)
