Wingless #Day 14

It’s been ages,

You found me

In that moment

and asked

“ what do you plan to do with your life?”

Like a wingless bird

Almost clueless

Thinking about

the life,

half- lived,

Sitting in my corner,

I fixed my gaze

At the clear blue sky.


I wanted you to know,

I wish to unfold mysteries
 at every step,

Clear the barriers
of boredom,

Create a new day,
everyday,
And breathe!

 
Today, rain

Washed away the dust

and cleared the haze.
:
I breathe.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”~Mary Oliver
