From the scorched roots of the Rabi
Nurtured by the ashes and lye
Only to be cut down before the monsoon
Sisyphus in robes of chlorophyll
Twice-cheating his death
Trapped in three cycles of pain
Searching for the sun through clouds
Searching for the rain in clear skies
Searching for balance to grow
Searching for Salam.

2022 was...well...better than 2021. And that's a lot. After years of darkness and clouds, things are looking up. I fear the future but also look forward to one where I can finally lock away the demons and look up for the first time. InshaAllah.
