The sun had not risen,it was still dark,
The sound of crickets and the flowing river,
Were all that the half asleep senses could fathom.
I sat near the rocky bank,
Wanting to sing and break the monotony of nature,
But soulless words which escaped me
Could not gather the wings of a song.
The birds were asleep still,
The forest still brooding in the night's drunkenness.
Only I was awake,a heart full of burdensome feelings,
Tethered to my being like fetters.
I wanted to relieve my burden,
Into the cool dark waters of the quiet river,
Where it would have sunk like dead weight,
But I couldn't..
As the song which escaped my lips
Without being freed,
I too,even if relieved of my feelings
Would never be free.
Besides how can one expect to be,
If he has loved truly,wholely and deeply?
Wonderful👏
