The Gaze

Moving along the silent road in dark

I saw her shimmering loud and bright

Across the street, there she stood

We saw each other and for a moment we shook

Stared again with the glimmer in eyes

Wish I could just for the moment stop the glare

The world lit up with joy

Had this moment for myself to enjoy

Cuckoo bird with all its might

Flapping wings into the night

Into the thoughts here I plunge

Thinking of how this thought sprung

I look up again in her eyes

This time it’s sorrow and cry

Wondering what would have happened to her in the past

Took me aback and left me aghast

I see despair I see sorrow

Yes she could have had a different tomorrow

She stood there like stuck by Medusa

Her mask fell off without any surprise

She wanted to move out but couldn’t gather courage

Somehow I think she wanted me to compose this phrase

That instant I lost the touch of surprise

Moving back in time is what I reprise

She moved on not to be seen

Though in my thoughts she left a mirror so clean

Rise

Fly fly in the dirty sky

Night night thou are dark and show your might

Open your mind and spread your wings

Take a deep breath and let your heart sing

Whatever comes out would be true

Sane or insane – judging is not our virtue

Shine like a diamond, pounce like an eagle

Do everything just don’t sit lonely and idle

Let the sun shine, let the seas roar

Seven wonders and all seasons shall cheer

Flap flap make the sound

Sniff sniff like a hound

Gather courage and run free

Puffing and panting should be in hurry

You’re not icarus that can’t go high

You’re not princess Margaret that can only sigh

You’re the alpha and the omega

You’re the one and only initiator

Clear the mind with all your might

Open to the world with a cheerful sight

Words shall found you again

Happy, merry and peaceful heart will sing again

Go go go grab it with both arms

Flap your wings and fly out of our sights
