Sitting in a room, confined to  this space, I watch the world go by through the tiny windows.

Only when you are confined , you know  Freedom.

And I miss……..

And I miss…..

Standing outside in the early morning and breathing  in the fresh air

Touching the white ‘champa’ flower for its smoothness  beneath my fingers

Sitting on the swing swaying to the chirping of the birds

Feeling the ground beneath my feet as I walk through the day

Letting the sunshine embrace me with it’s warmth

Mingling in the milieu of human connections

Someone calling me out by my name

And I miss….

Someone needing instructions for the day

Someone complaining about the menu for the day

Children waiting for you over a cup of coffee

Children wanting to vent out their frustrations

Sitting together over a loud family dinner

And I miss…..

Smiles

Irritations

Hugs

Anger

Frustations

Happiness

Laughter

Because…..

Only when you are confined , you know  Freedom.
