At times my mind just wants to fly
Like a free bird breaking the limits of the sky
Into a world of oblivion that numbs every sense
To bathe into the grace of a charming presence
A world that breaks the walls of time
And melts into an unending aura sublime
It bears in its heart that era I was in
Dwells in an eternity, not to move ahead is it keen
Defying the ‘Right’, ‘Wrong’ and the concepts of ‘Should’
Frees me from the shackles to let me do what I ‘Would’
And no sooner do I see myself walking that road again
Enjoying every breeze, every droplet of rain
The road left long behind, yet never retreated
Kept beckoning to follow it-every different thought defeated
The road that never ended then as much as it doesn’t today
Is more covetous now, it puts everything else at bay
Laden all over with snow with my soul trapped in it
Takes me through a joyful ride with days shining and nights moonlit
A trap that sets every bit of my wretched spirit free
My heart travels every kind of way in its own sweet spree
In it I find a precious gem I never wish to lose
This trap gives me joys, the freedom gives me woes
I live and breathe amidst you all, in this world so fickle
Always wanting to do so much, and end up doing so little
Yet my struggle with ‘Me’ goes on to recreate myself
But the soul remains camouflaged—in YOU it longs more to delve.
