In the middle of the wide open road
Empty, stranded, a profanity of nothingness
As I stretch my arms to embrace the load
Of a handful of freedom and timelessness
There’s a stormy wind with its subtle speed
Mumbling into my ears,
‘Today you are all mine indeed’
And I can now give up all fears
I have a sky full of blue and white
Crowning in its kingdom an elegant sun
I bath in all of the light
And ah! My lungs are so ready to run
Sometimes would a flock of birds fly by
Enriching the serenity with their chatters and flapping
They would call me, ‘don’t be shy,
‘Come with us, have a serious swing’
As a boy I’d think, I recall
‘I could have had a bird’s eye,
‘Tiny wetness in the skull,
‘But with feathers and wings that make me fly
For the bigger wetness that I have
Makes me ask tirelessly across days,
Why for some is negation swag?
And why would there be differences?
Then I am back to my running
With my teary eyes I try to see
Ahead as far as I could be eyeing
A waterfall guarded by rocks and hills
Sweaty, grasping, I stop for a breather
And am stunned for all that I see
Undying treasures of nature
For my life’s remainder, is this where I want to be?
