Unexpected nightmare


Driving without destination

With 

Tears of exclamation‼️ 

memories rise 

in veil of my eyes 

A bird inside me 

Crying to fly 

With love again 

 

Suddenly I stopped by 

Seeing an old lady 

Her eyes were lugged 

With tears to  

Nourish her kids  

Striving to live with 

Satisfaction, 

 

Tears of hope 

To live life again 

 With keener light again 

An unexpected nightmare 

Of better hopes
