Retrieve

The free-spirited bird in me awakens
To stand strong with test of time
An all-encompassing epitome
Of selfless love & devotion
Emotions varied,
And all that I have,
Has, with time, been carried
Partly exposed, rest buried
However, celebrate as I must
For my state of being should not rust!

Fall as I may, rise as I need to
Spread my wings, look up to the sky
Then, take flight
Reach out to the space above
Hovering around, all alone
And then, on looking below,
I realize the world is chaotic
Though beautiful, yet challenging
Cannot make up my mind
Shall I stay up here, all by myself
Or get back & mingle with the world

Deep in thought, I lose balance
Descend downwards, with full force
Nosedive on frigid earth
Who to hold on to?
Who to fall back on?
There is none..
While I took flight, all was gone
Lonesome, as I am again,
Set to hunt for, all  that was lost
