Within Four Walls I Dream
Dreaming against four walls,
I surrender,
sliding into the verticality
of my existence.
I find comfort in my heart beat,
in the flow of my breath,
in the journey that my joints take within the four walls.
Dreaming within four walls,
pushing, pulling,
pulsating, palpitating,
spreading myself beyond the four walls.
Dreaming beyond four walls,
I am.
