17. WINGS OF LOVE

 

I wanted to fly high in the blue sky on the wings of love;

Traversing through balls of white cotton clouds; listening to the mellifluous chirping of birds,

Having a silent peep at the blazing Sun; admiring its enchanting and radiant shine,

Bathing in the unrelenting rain pelting down; trying to catch the tiny droplets in my palms,

Watching atrocious airplanes whizzing past me at electric speeds; invading the serenity of the atmosphere,

Confronting chilly draughts of breeze as I proceeded; occasional flakes of snow caressing my hair,

The horizon appearing just at arms lengths from my body; as if the Sun was ready to gobble me for supper,

Earthly inhabitation infinite kilometers away from my sight; with a panoramic view of the towering mountains,

The innocuous white of my skin transiting to scarlet red; as gusty winds rushed across in fury,

A fleet of twinkling stars staring down at me in pin drop silence; preparing to shimmer in the night,

Thunderous black clouds obliterating me completely from visions of earth,

The only food being; a blend of white and colored air inundating my mouth,

The need for water not arising; in the bitter cold and freezing sheets of wind,

With me somersaulting several times on my back; viewing the sky in ecstasy walking upside down,

A feeling of reverence; feeling the divine Creator in whispering distances of my silhouette,

There was no pollution; adulteration; not even the faintest trace of civilization as I flew,

The open conglomerate of sky and space besieging me in a vice like grip,

Simply not a soul to disturb me throughout the long day; the tenacious light of the moon engulfing me in darkness,

I remembered my close affiliates; siblings; and most importantly the spell binding cadence of her voice,

As I flew still higher in the sky; on the wings of perpetual love.
