Breathe Easy

It does seem a long while ago
though it was just a year back
Was I ever that pristine?
With unconfined freedom and spotless dreams?
It does seem overrated now.
For I plunged again to work
and left my witherings for everyone else.
When I promised I'll not have my wings cut,
I offered the axe.
Then came the numbness
that made everyday unnaturally placid.

I thank my stars yet, for being a true gemini, really.
For the spell broke yesterday
Friends family forgiveness due.
For the past new years I worked,
this one begs to differ.
Work moved from worship, to just well, work.
My past glorified and future in sorts.
Still, its just a phase
There never was a start, hence no end.

P.S. Have you ever done the dead man's float?
With the water below and the sky above
That was how I always felt with you,
I breathe easy. Sometimes choked too.
But hey, I am not judging.
