Flight of Hope

Hello Everyone,
Its been a long since I wrote anything so this just to satisfy my literary craving and this one goes out for Shikha and it is a sort of my token of gratitude towards her. I know, I could have been a little more romantic than this and would have dedicated something nicer to her instead of this absurd piece of poetry. But this poem is perhaps a little closer to my heart so it deserved to be dedicated to her all the more. And, if you are thinking that this is some kind of lyrical attempt to one of our songs - Flight of Hope, I would like to tell you that this by no means is going to be the lyrical part of Flight of Hope. The song is an instrumental piece and it will be as it is for time to come. This poem infact, is more of an attempt to express the same feeling in words.

Here goes the written version of the Flight of Hope

Taking my turn looking at
the dreaded golden web.
Just when the spirits
were at their lowest ebb

With my tattered wings of desire
I made my way through
Entangled further in a strange past
of dreary darks and starry blues.

And then I looked up
At the coloured sky
Painted with shattered remains
of my dreams to fly.

For a moment worth million charms
I strangely felt ashore
Taking a step backwards
I plunged for my Flight of Hope

Flying through the naive skies
flooded with familiar warnings.
I lived on for another dream
Flying with my blood soaked wings.

The gush of wind under my wings
and the sight of mountains so high
I looked at the trail of destiny
As i climb higher over the sky

The flight continued as the wounds
of my struggle healed.
The pain receded with the
joy of the world concealed

It's never been easy I know
Going that distant mile
But for all I know is that,
I am on a Flight of Hope

I chased a dream
across the horizon.
While the shackles gave way
for my Flight of Hope.

As I took a step backwards
Plunging into a sea of desires
Onto a moment that lasts
Chasing my Flight of Hope


All I know is that,
I am on a Flight of Hope


While the shackles gave way
for my Flight of Hope.
