Crushed, crowded, drowned by people <br />Escaped to freedom, off the train! <br />Homeward bound, paradise calls, <br />When you reach home, the warmth forgives all. <br />And finally when the talking is spent, <br />Sweet quiet descends with hushed footsteps. <br /> <br /> <br />The rustling wind gently sways the trees, <br />The chirping birds call out to heed. <br />Listening to my heart beat in harmony, <br />I wonder if there is a place closer to heaven. <br />And so my dear, when you meet me again, <br />You’ll find my soul, refreshed anew. <br /> <br />Seeking you with all its passions unbound, <br />To renew, burst forth and to be alive again!<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alive-again-3/
