A Song of Flight

Story behind the poem

One afternoon, I was seated on the bench at the bus stop purposelessly. The lockdown period was in full swing even then. In front of my eyes, I beheld a flight of birds returning probably to their nests. The factory was locked down. However, there was no smoke emitted by the chimneys. Hence, the sky was almost pollution-free. It was a visual treat indeed to behold those birds soaring on the blue ocean-like sky. Beholding the scene, my soul took a flight which was no less than that of those birds. I could easily befriend those pure pals in the twinkling of an eye. Oh! It was a novel marvel truly. In a moment, I could feel uncaring to this world's anxieties and sorrows. That was one of the best days in my entire life.

The poem-- "A Song of Flight"

Soar and fly! Soar and fly!

O blithe birds, fly more high,

In the azure silky sky.

Take me here, take me there;

Free my bird from the snare;

Let me this world uncare.

I do watch, I do watch;

Unleash me from this clutch;

O, gift me His divine touch.
