A Young Girl's Dream
As free as a bird I was born to this world
Flapping my tiny little wings with delight
For the sky was limitless and horizon endless
I dreamed of bizarre places
Aromas and scents that awaken my every sense
Flavors and tastes of spices and sweets
Flavors when brushed against my lips;
Forever I become captivated by such intoxicating taste
I would watch my wings grow for I long to soar
To be like others before me who took flight to explore
Finally, the day has come for I have outgrown my weakness
Delighted and gay for today is finally the day
I would dive in this endless world of beauty and bliss
I say farewells to a place ever so familiar, to all family and friends
I set to an endless path I have paved in my soul
With a pounding beating heart I take flight
I feel the rushing air against my young naive wing
As I watch in awe what was once but a dream
The big blue sky embracing the endless woven earth
The shades and hues of leaves on trees and endless flower petals bidding me hello
I lose myself in the charm and grace of this lovely place called world
I lose balance for my young wings are still too frail
Panic stricken as I am too new to such flight.. I fall
I am awakened to an unfamiliar place, I look around
I am in a golden antique cage
I am a prisoner in this free world for this is my fate
In horror I try to squeeze myself out of this horrid cage, I fail
I scream and shout pleading for my free will
Echoes of my screams evaporate in midair
I sing myself a lullaby as I sit helplessly in my golden cage
A childlike figure approaches as she listens to my song
She silently unlocks and opens the cage door,
Embracing me gently with her caring soft hands
She kisses me as she bids me farewell
For she knows my place is not in any cage
I glance up to this young girl’s face for in her eyes the future lays
Eyes as warm as the golden sun reflecting on calm blue seas
In the stillness of this endless moment I have learned,
Where there is love there will be peace
In peace I fly away to a world portrayed only in a young girl’s dreams..

You have real talent. This is simply amazing.
Wow. This is beautiful.
Fascinating words of a soft sheer heart which refuses to be captured but flies high in the vast extensive universe of freedom. We are capable to “step out” of the backward mentality if we have the courage to dig our own way among the stiff rocks !!!

Thank you Jesse and Elizabeth for such kind words. I am glad you liked my little poem.
And Sami, many thanks as well for your lovely comment. Yes! it does take a lot of courage to stand against the tides; sometimes water which is lucid and delicate can crumble stiff rock into sand. I would think it takes patience, determination and persistence.

We are born into a world that has the potential to be a paradise on earth. But somehow we’ve found a way to create what may well become a living hell for ourselves. Perhaps it will be the innate child in us that will show us the better path.
Amazing job=)
