fluttering

here within my chest

wild birds fluttering

silvery wings

irridescent from spring rain

leave an imprint of pain

echoes of the love’s longing

lost

here within the moment

wild instances of

restless thoughts arising

welcomed by my mind

become

no longer enemies

to be fought

instead

i open my heart to them

as i center in my breath

oh how

I long for life

no longer

only this living death
