An old man clad with white <br />Comes in my dream with cheroot, <br />For as I see he is young <br />And brilliantly bright <br /> <br />Identify him for his smell, not sight <br />So deep, his thought root <br />He inhales me with his breath <br />And vomits me alive <br />Into the words of ocean: - <br /> <br />There I find, <br />Many suns and moons <br />I see heaven on earth <br />And earth on heaven <br />I find Shark and whale <br />Formidable <br />And many more creatures <br />Innocent <br /> <br />Sometime I see a mirror house <br />I am caged within <br />So fearful <br />Fear with the images. <br /> <br />He never spoke with me, <br />One day he will break the mirror <br />And He will take me out of the Ocean <br /> <br />I asked, “Where do you live <br />And what is your age? ” <br /> <br />He whispered softly <br />I live into the heart <br />I am the light <br />My age got no end <br />Ageless <br />Ever young <br />‘No cage for my age’<br /><br />Aftab Alam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-cage-for-my-age/
