Architect of Light

There's a freedom fighter I admire,
her name is Aung San Suu Kyi.


One day,
while searching for inspiration
with the words "glinting light splinters"
as I wrote the poem Shards Of Light,
a satisfied smile came
when I stumbled upon a poem
 - A White Architect of Light -
all about Aung San Suu Kyi.

"She came back from the land of democrative destiny and dissolved
into the chaotic void.
Fighting for the freedom of reality
Building the light house in the darkest hours of life
Fixing up the spiritual essence through the existential nothingness
in the valueless zone

Layers by layers, realities of life theatre are turned into distilled light
out of trapped reflections

Mother of modern Myanmar honoured by consciencious tree of life
Curving away all the unnecessary parts
Curving away all the necessary parts"

by Nyein Way

It satisfies me to stumble upon finds like this,
because Aung San Suu Kyi is well-known as a powerful, peaceful freedom fighter,
she has a book published that is called Freedom From Fear and other writings,
and this is my year of freedom.


And I will post bits & pieces I've gathered about her recently,
here on my blog this week.
