I BREATHE
~~~~~~~~~~
I breathe
This air is precious
How long has it been
Since this freedom was mine?
Freedom from tortured memory
From my past
I breathe
The wind traps me
How long has it been
Since I last felt its touch?
Caressing my cheek
Like the touch of a ghost
I breathe
The sun warms my skin
How long has it been
Since I last welcomed it?
The warmth eases
My cold suffering
I breathe

A poem inspired by Chichiri. It's supposed to be a hopeful poem of a person who just remembers how to feel again, made with thoughts of Chichiri after he left the monastery to become a wandering monk.
