Nowhere Home.
Riding the wind, she smiled stealthily
Her hair veiled most of her eyes
But they spoke of words unsaid,
As she vowed to tread
From mystery heights to surging depths
She roamed with pure solitary faith,
Her hands had wept for one soul enough
Camaraderie, she discovered a bluff,
But nothing had seemed impossible true
For she, had had the conclusions drew,
Every morning, she would think “it’s a new day,
I’d live to feel and later pray,
I’d give a try and dream to fly
My passions will never entwine
Into the shadows of fleeting time.”
Careless, mournful, her avenging soul
She dreamed to free herself from the maiden’s role..
When the leaves had changed their colour,
Age had given her the deathly ardour
She protected her clandestine ferocity
She learnt the art of eloquent generosity,
She held back her urges, lured
Ambitions had her passions floored
Because she had traveled the mortals world,
And conquered the heavens, unseen above.
She could smile the stealthy smile
Hide beneath counterfeited lies
Surreptitiously, her cries, ripped up her hollow
But she was happy that her glories would follow,
Share with her Mother, she returned in delight
Tell her the fables of hopes and fights
All her life she wanted to please her,
Her life had been for her Mother
Returned she embraced her and kissed,
The warmth prevailed, showed how much she missed:
But Mother, oh Mother, did I offend?
Where is the smile, the hearty blend
Of emotions and happiness that should enlighten
Your stony face, what has befallen?
Tell me, I plead, don’t throw me away!
I have returned to forever stay….
“Child, you are not what you can be
A dreaming fool, a fickle entity”
My Mother had again reminded me so
But my tears have dried long ago,
I die a mortal in disdain,
Hope and pain were together again.
