try to sit, still with fear
mind is everywhere but here
scattered thoughts go up and down
like bunny bounces round and round
dreamless nights. hazy lights.
the wind steals untethered kites
losing pace in an endless race
while children cry for mother's embrace
the hummingbird
still needs to be heard
"i flap my wings without a sound
but still my limits know no bound"
