Time needs life.
Garden needs your barefoot steps
to feel the dewdrops
in the grass.
Wait no more
for the redemption morning,
the sun is your witness
to call the freedom birds
to paint the sky.
I sit with a book in my hand
and leaf one more turn of life.
The evening zephyr is free
only if you let out the birds
from the painting of the sky.
