Until one day, a tiny flicker of Light surpassed into my mind and it penetrated under all the dust and dirt and finally found his way straight into my eyes
It aches me like hell
I tried, but I wasn’t able to open my eyes
Years of darkness made me vulnerable to Light
I squinted and struggled to open up my eyes to this new Light
It reached inside my mind again and again trying to wake me up
Each time the Light gets more and more brighter
Until it reached near me, but the dirty rusty bars of the cage never let the Light to touch me
But I was astonished to see that when the Light touched the bars of the cage all the dirt, dust, and rust have gone like “poof” as in magic and the bars have turned into golden dust and disappeared before my eyes
The Light moved closer to me then I saw it
Two shining beautiful wings were in the hands of the Light
The Light gave me those wings and it attached to my body like it was made for me
Then the Light took my hand and get me out where I can see only light where my eyes can reach and it was filled with everything I lost. My Sun, my Moon, my Orion, my stars, my colors, my stories, my music everything was there
The sight pained my eyes and it started welling up
My knees felt weak and I fall
I couldn’t control my tears
I covered my face in my palms.
At that moment the Light came close to me, wiped my tears, and whispered in my ears
“Enjoy the freedom that your heart has always dreamed.
Enjoy creativity until now hidden, but desiring release.
Enjoy renewed confidence
That was always there but confined awaiting emancipation.
Enjoy the expansion of your creative prowess.
Enjoy the excitement and energy of a long-time, secret talent.
Enjoy a new perspective on life’s wonders.
Enjoy sharing your joy.
Enjoy Life.”
My tears started flowing continuously for hours until my heart felt better
The Light showed my way and asked me to spread my wings and fly to the horizon
I was afraid. I looked into the eyes of the Light
The Light smiled at me and gave a nod to me
My heart was beating fast. I try to spread my wings and tried to fly
But I fall. I looked at The Light. He encouraged me to do it again. After many attempts I made it
I fly. The air filled my chest. The wind blows into my eyes. My eyes got welled up. Everything got blurred.
I turned back to see the Light, but my blurry eyes didn’t let me see him
I flew down before him and looked into his eyes.
I bend down and touched his feet for his blessing
He blessed me and smiled at me
I turned and spread my wings and fly. I turned back to see the Light again, but couldn’t see him
But I can feel he is watching me and smiling at me
Thank you my Light for finding me and freeing me out of my cage
If you weren’t there, I will never be free
I will be long lost and forgotten by me forever.
I will be grateful for you.
Thank you so much.

Rasiya, You paint a portrait of life, love and living with your words. Strong Ink and powerful imagery. Well done.
Thank you Larry Tyler for your kind and inspiring words.
Dear Rasiya,
You have such a powerful way with words. You transport the reader to observe the experience you endured and that you are emerging from, being greeted by the sunrise; the light of day.
Such a moving account, Rasiya. So moving. You are a lover of Nature and the Universe.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
With much admiration,
Simon
Thank you so much for your kind words my dear friend. If you weren’t there, I will never write a single word in my life. And regarding publishing is far away matter. Because of you, I came to know about Dennis and many other extraordinarily talented people around the world. Thank you so much for being my friend.
