My precious warrior

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

the numb ache
in your intense eyes
those warm hands
that often forget 
they have the map to home

I see the black hole
in your soul
that hides beneath
the colors and patterns
you scroll

you the precious warrior
-the bearer of light
inhale, exhale, pause
till the lighthouse
again shines bright

Wait till your halo
reflects back
remember, spring is never
too far behind!
