SMOKING KILLS

ARTIST - MIBOM TENG

The wanderer’s admirer


Sitting in my terrace with a headache
I gazed above and saw some clouds
Then for some moments I contemplated
How freely without boundaries did they wandered?

The cloud formations reflected my thoughts
And revealed to me what I wanted to observe
They spoke a long lost language
That now only birds do understand

They look to be lonely and lost
But the rough winds are guide them
Sometimes they bring with them death
Otherwise they always be so kind

I sat dreaming and watched them drift by
And I felt a strange stillness in my mind
