A Song !!

Last night, i was lying down on my bed listening to songs by U2. Some of the songs are awesome. Acrobat, Whos gonna run your wild horses, Sweetest thing, Stuck in the Moment and others...... I was thinking about many things and i started to forms some very naive lines of my own. I felt that i should write them down. So, at about 1 am, i started my computer and wrote down the lines. Just thought like putting them on the blog.. after all its my own blog...

Imagine a human being who feels that he has lost on most fronts in his life. He does not know whom to blame. I think of this is a song by such a person.

Me to God,

Don’t you dare speak a word,
Just tell me why did you kill my bird?

She was a vivid bird of innovation,
Soaring high in the wind of my imagination
Can that wind now carry away my tears?
I have prepared for it, not much…. Just the open doors..

Don’t you dare speak a word,
Just tell me why did you kill my bird?

She was a tender bird, filled with emotion..
Always flying around me, to show her compassion..
I never understood, but it must have been hard on her wings..
Surely a crime that I have messed up on so many things..

So don’t ever dare speak a word,
Just tell me why did you kill my bird?

She was a bird, who thought different,
Vultures, flycatchers, eagles, owls, cormorant;
But now I lie down with only clichéd thoughts in my mind,
Surely this must be a dream, can’t the time now unwind?

You don’t need to speak a word,
Now I know why did you kill my bird..

God to Me

I never killed the bird my son,
It is you; you are the one!!

You need to look in, rather than blame…
The bird can be a phoenix rising through the flame….

The beauty of your poem lies in the end and more so in the fact that that is just the beginning.

Just thought your poem deserved a more fitting comment than my earlier one so here goes.

At the start it seems as sorrowful as a requiem,
Growing darkness all around it seems.

Vanishing hopes depicted like a tunnel that deepens,
But the light at the end a new beginning betokens.
