Hope to Fly

 

Hope to fly

Aimed to soar high in the sky

Found me into Nadir instead

A desire for the light always

Got restricted by the darkness ll1ll

Moved forward, felt tired

Respite and cheerfulness were  craved

My prayers were overheard

There were only rest and no flight of a bird,ll2ll

I covet at times

Pause to, not to be futile

Yearn to make the best out of it

Work for everyone's benefit ll3ll

Often find confronted by gloominess

Which enshrouds my smile

Having no doubt that yet

God has to open my splendid days' file ll4ll

When and how this will happen

Neither you nor can I predict

My dreams will transpire someday

I will fly, Take to the sky

If only fate does not interdict ll5ll

Every cloud has a silver lining

 

Whenever I feel depressed, whenever gloom shrouds me

Whenever I feel engulfed by sadness, whenever macabre thoughts haunt me

I pat my heart, calm it down and exclaim

Why do you bathe in tears, face the reality

No one is bereft of enigmatic silence in this world

All have carried their own bag of miseries

And basked in the radiant bliss too

It’s not apt to mourn on trivia

Coz, every cloud has a silver lining

Soon, it is sure to become apparent

But, your tears may act as a deterrent.
