Bamboo Shot

I can sense my own breathing

Heartbeat mad, somehow fleeting

Just like thoughts that had ceased

Even more to again exist

Hands had trembled a while

As I've walked mile by mile

As I've faced all the fears

And had shifted my gears

Pulling through, growing out,

Letting out silent shout,

All that pain, the disdain,

All had washed down by rain

With the new gust of wind

And the breath, passing hind

With the life set anew

It had dawned "yes, I knew"

By the trials and turns

And by pain from those buns

Pushing through with a smile

Resting above that leaf pile

And again reaching out to the sky

Leaves singing in wind and sigh

With my breath once again in my chest

This bamboo shot deserves its rest
