 Picture Credit: Pankaj Tottada What have we become? Cogs in the machinations of life Puppets in controlling hands Prisoners of our aspirations Patients of order and restraint Come fly with me my friend On this journey to freedom. When was the last time You had time for yourself When you stood at the brink of dawn Against a dazzling sky and a warm sea With the waves lapping against your feet When you sipped a coffee Losing yourself in the fumes of ecstasy When you looked beyond your window To feel the wind caressing your face When you sang aloud uninhibited When you danced in the rain Splashing the water with your feet When you followed a rainbow When you had a date with the full moon When you unleashed your senses When you had all the time in the world To walk alongside yourself When was the last time? When you expressed how much You love your loved ones When you gave a warm hug When your hand found a friend’s shoulder When you kissed passionately When you apologize whole-heartedly When you confessed your deepest secrets When you cried your heart out Leaning over a caring shoulder When you experienced the feeling Of sleeping in your mother’s lap Of holding your father’s hand When you lost yourself in the moment Relishing a blissful happiness Because life is shorter than it seems. When was the last time my friend? That you were just yourself When you shed those false pretenses When you didn’t give a damn When you never cared about how you look Or how you dressed and talked When you became a child again Following your instincts without regrets When you took failures in a stride When you laughed at your foolishness When you took pride in your weaknesses When you broke a rule just for the fun of it When you actually enjoyed being idle When you screamed out your resentment, Shattering the barriers of silence. When you last looked in the mirror, And wondered how beautiful you are, What an awesome creation you are! When was the last time You woke up a new morning and felt excited About what the new day brings About those new people you meet About the new things you experience When was the last time You fully lived your life in the present Come reflect with me my friend On what we miss in life Come fly with me my friend On this journey to freedom!
