I want wings...

Wings that take me away

from this world so confined.

Wings that fly me to a place

myself, where I could find.

I want wings.

Wings that set me free

Wings that let me be

Wings that allow me see

all that's, yet, unseen.

I want wings.

With them I shall fly

to heights unknown

With them I shall try

to find some time alone.

I want wings.

For life sometimes

seems so incomplete

Like a blank drawn out

Ah! so neat.

I want wings.

What is missing?

I don't seem to know

Yet, a solution

Looks no ready to show.

I want wings.

I do know life's pretty

I do know am happy

I do know I gotta be content

Yet this vexation, is so hard to prevent.

I want wings.

So much of the world

remains unexplored.

So many of life's chapters

are waiting to unfold.

I want to feel the sun rise

I want to see the waves collide

I want to breathe an air too pure

Into the depths of nature, I want to tour.

Hence I want wings.

Look there! It's a squirrel hopping

Elsewhere a monkey, it's mother is feeding

The waves making noise, over the seashore

And the pious breeze, the trees seem to adore.

For the leaves are swaying

as if dancing to songs unsung

Ah it's so calm, and different

from this life I once want to shun

For this! I want wings.

It's not like am sad

not like am alone

But an abominable lull sometimes

makes me feel like a drone.

I want wings.

Yes, I want wings

From these limitations to break free.

Yet I want wings

To discover who am destined to be.

Was imagining this all, in those moments of reflection

When silence shouts out all thy frustration

But by the end, myself I again could see

Which is a me, I never wanted to be.
