A Bird Called Me!!!

Another one flew away today. I stood there, in silence, dazed. A part torn away from me. It flew away. There were many like me there. Most were dazed some unfazed and some stood with emotions that were hard to tell for my dazed mind. It was all finally coming to an end. One of the many stories that end with a hope for the future. This one seemed to have got the plot wrong. Time stood still and a tear drop stationed at the corner of my eye rolled down. I wiped it off before it was noticed, lest my emotions gave me away. Irony and contradictions clouded my vision. I wanted to take refuge in tears, in the soothing bosom of my helplessness to which I had surrendered my self hoping that I would be taken care of. Torn was I with emotions pulling me in different directions- to help it soar higher or to keep it close to me. Time had begun it journey. Before I could decide on whether to help or to baulk, it flew away before my eyes. Not too keen on leaving but not too sad either to leave.


Like all else it is so fleeting, momentary and elusive. I am here today. Grieving the flight and celebrating the freedom. Wisdom dawns on me and I prepare myself for my time. My wings are growing and tomorrow is my turn to fly.
