Escape

by Nazifa Azad

As I stand under the sun, I've forgotten what winter feels like

Alluring, drowsy warmth, golden beams drenched with hope

Existence is light like a breath of fresh air

The sky is shifting and so am I

I've forgotten the past - everything else melts away and this moment is mine

Do you see the dreams in my eyes?

We'll touch the sky, someday I hope

Escape is so fleeting

But I swear - I wish I could exist in that moment alone forever
