Plunged from crests atop blue mountains
Into realms unknown, swamped by demons of dark
Lump in my throat quells the loudest shrieks
Yet with the majestic lion’s roar - I will fly unto the skies!
Into realms unknown, swamped by demons of dark
Lump in my throat quells the loudest shrieks
Yet with the majestic lion’s roar - I will fly unto the skies!
Eyes blurred with tears, sight marred with fears
Forsaken I lay, drowning in the storm within
They laugh while I weep, they create the din
Yet with the deadly tiger’s leap - I will fly unto the skies!
Forsaken I lay, drowning in the storm within
They laugh while I weep, they create the din
Yet with the deadly tiger’s leap - I will fly unto the skies!
No watcher can see, the wounds are invisible
No potion can soothe; the scars are mystical
The dark night shall fade, golden rays emboldening my wings
Yes, with brute force I will flutter - to fly unto the skies!
No potion can soothe; the scars are mystical
The dark night shall fade, golden rays emboldening my wings
Yes, with brute force I will flutter - to fly unto the skies!
Marooned by the Almighty, am I? doubting His guardianship
Questioning this question, searching for answers - unfathomable
The Master’s voice speaks, heard loud in stillness and silence
Retells me I am born to fly – fly unto the skies – fly into the skies!
Questioning this question, searching for answers - unfathomable
The Master’s voice speaks, heard loud in stillness and silence
Retells me I am born to fly – fly unto the skies – fly into the skies!

Poet’s view:
The feelings are that of a strong bird metaphorical of human mind, after having gone through a great fall, experiencing deep pain. At the same time, it is trying to self-motivate, vowing to itself - to come back hard and fly high!
