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,
at every step,
Clear the barriers
of boredom,
of boredom,
Create a new day,
everyday,
And breathe!everyday,
Washed away the dust
and cleared the haze.
:
I breathe.:
