Waiting to breathe….




trash    like the aftermath of existence
builds like mountains of ego     pride
stingy     yet not giving any lessons of sanity
the cups of life’s ice-creams
packets of spicy snacks
builds on an ice cave of memories lost
silver lining of a frozen cloud
reverberating ocean blue inside
an ancient cave lost under ambitious
stingy mushrooms    waiting….
