Will I fly?
I’m lost
without a cause
I know what I’ve to do
but I don’t give it a chance
I want to run through life
with lots of sunshine
Though the dark clouds of fate
put chains around my mind
I can choose not to indulge in them
but I end up in bed with them
Am I a fool or Am I a fool?
Will I live if I let them loose?
I know the answers
they are in my heart
I know I’ll come through
without a scar
Here I’m starting anew
I want to get intoxicated
on this sunrise smooth
With bundles of hope and glimmer in the eyes
All I want to know, will I fly?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Loved the line
Am I a fool, or am I a fool
Nice thoughts …
Nice poem
Heartwarming poem. We know the answers in our hearts, indeed. Hoping we all fly in this new year and those ahead.
The answer to Tarun’s question lies in the epic novel Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Very often when we can’t do something, in life, we discourage others too from doing it. As a PMI I have lived within, “the dark clouds of fate” for the last three decades. Very often l have felt like, “breaking loose into sunshine” but we’ll meaning MHPs and caregivers have discouraged me from doing so; always reminding me of my fate; and now here l am, at the age of 55, tossed upon a pile of refuse, completely “rehabilitated”. I feel the answer to Tarun’s question lies in being audacious enough to fly by shutting out the cacophony of “well meaning” well-wishers. Thanks Tarun for having put to words the eternal churn within me; this poem is Superb Read.
This is simple yet great read – Tarun!
Random acts of love or kindness gives me hope.
Nice poem. It instills within me the desire to simply, at first, to do some social service like writing poems and sharing with others, etc.
Secondly, the poem fills the power to implement their goals in action in its reader.
HOPE to learn new things, then sharing my knowledge and thoughts with others drives me to live my life.
Wow… Written very well. Conveyed complex emotions and feelings in simple words. Really done a great job.
