White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-176
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY
THE COUNTDOWN-2
A caged bird I am
Do not remember
How and when
I fell in love with the cage
How it became my lifeline
My heart and mind.
How I surrendered everything
I loved and relished
My freedom, love and passion
For a handful of the sky over
And a little earth to stand on
A caged bird I am
Forgotten long since
How to fly in the open sky.
Hope to muster enough strength
To ward off the initial onslaught
Gather me, my tired wings and mind
To venture into the forgotten domain
The unapproachable splendour of the empyrean
Once a winged bird
Do not remember
When I last flew into the blue heaven.
Hope! I will find my wings and urge,
love and motivation
to be on cloud nine once again
