Have you seen a bird fly
Fluttering away to touch the sky
Across the rivers, and trees and sands
Flying away to unknown lands?
Singing songs at heart’s solace
Measuring lands at its own pace
Welcomes the sun with its melodious tunes
And seeks adieu from the evening moons
I am the bird that flies too high
Enchanted by the glittering sky
Too far off from my small nest
In the airs which I know the best…
And flying high I sometimes wonder
In pensive moods I sometimes ponder
Of songs of joys, courage and hope
In which feelings unsaid, elope.
In moments of sorrow, gloom and despair
When all you need is love and care
We embrace you in those caring songs
And take you beyond rights and wrongs
When shattered you are and lost is life
And you give up the endless strife
Trapped you are at life’s dead end
We become your comrade, your true friend
But flying high I sometimes wonder
In pensive moods I sometimes ponder
Amidst the tunes of the joyous lanes
Do you ever feel some tears or pain?
In moments of sorrow, gloom and despair
When all we need is love and care
You refuse to hear our saddened voice
You move on with your life, you do rejoice
When shattered we are and lost is life
And we give up the endless strife
Trapped we are at life’s dead end
You never come to rescue, O dear friend?
So flying high I sometimes wonder
In pensive moods I sometimes ponder
Is the world so cruel, cold and mean
Or the fault lies within, unnoticed and unseen?
Maybe we are not made to cry
Maybe all we can do is fly
And search for a broken heart
And join the pieces torn apart
Maybe our sorrows, minuscule or grand
Are themselves too sad for you to withstand
Or maybe too insignificant for you to understand
And so amidst tears alone we stand.
And so flying high I sometimes wonder
In pensive moods I sometimes ponder
Maybe our songs are not too great
So hoping against hope we endlessly wait.

You are fortunate enough to have wings to fly 🙂

🙂 That I am I guess… So are you… So is everyone 🙂

Not everyone…

Everyone has wings (the capability to fly high)… the unfortunate part which you refer to is probably that those wings might not be allowed to unfurl… sometimes, the wings are chopped off and the bird is thrown out from a height… and that… is really unfortunate…

within each thought you ponder many others will wander
through the words and know some of their broken pieces
and parts fly high too….
I always wonder when I find some of the pieces that shattered
where do i keep them till I find a glue that hold them together again..
or is there such a glue…or would it even matter
I like the thought that you fly….
Wonderful words you have shared..
Thank you…
Take Care…You Matter…

when i saw that boy in xmen flying, the senator’s son, i wished that something like that come true for human beings too… may be in future… but human beings are too heavy..
