Tiny Bird Poem by Asif Baloch

Tiny Bird

Rating: 5.0


Tiny bird, scared to die
stumbling and fumbling
trying to fly

weeping and crying
whilst shading tears
terrified and scared
of unknown fears
waiting and wanting
to escape this cage
of love and purity
The One who made
he wails and yells
for hope of love
cries and begs
to let him go
but all pleads and
appeals has been denied
he have to wonder alone
in this prison for life

tiny bird,
now wants to die
all hopes are shattered
for love for life

O dear tiny bird
don't weep, don't cry
soon you'll be free
and fly in this beautiful sky

I'll be the one who is stuck
in this and other life
loneliness is my fate
and alone I'll rise

you know what Asif..I feel like I m a tiny bird too..who wants to escape from all the boundaries, cages and chains that we are tied to..you must know this song I guess animal song by Savage Garden 'When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far I've got to break away So take my hand now Cause I want to live like animals Careless and free like animals I want to live I want to run through the jungle With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet' Well I don't know whether this is the theme you wanted to convey, but I just like if I can live like some animal. careless and free....and I like the way you narrated it..nice 10++

'loneliness is not fate fortune, but it could be gone will be stifling hands, preying demons, breaks then the holding strands, loneliness devoid of hate love filled it could be then you find none but only you everywhere that you see.......' This is all i can say, wish and hope for you Aijaz this is an emotive write..!
