Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Freedom To Fly Free

As I sat alone 
under a wisdom tree
I had special views
of life around me.

I saw mountain peaks,
deepest valleys, 
and began to wonder 
where would I rather be.

Birds flew freely over me 
near a kite on a string, 
soon I decided to be
a bird with wings. 

Faced with a choice 
of life without you
I quickly fled
deep into the valley.

And I realized how deep it is, 
then flew my bird-wings
on top of mountain peaks
only to find how cold it is.

Twilight deemed, 
and soon I became
night of darkness
till my dream woke me 
finding you beside me.

I wish I had chosen my dream
to be a kite on a string
so I will always appreciate
the freedom to fly free.

Russell Sivey October 11, 2017 at 7:47 AM The freedom to fly is everyone's dream! I remember a dream I had when I was a child, I flew over our house and I could see the trees below then I landed in the field, but I could then only jump really far! It was so frustrating, I wanted to fly again! I loved reading your delightful poem this morning! You have presented a grand and amazing piece, such a fabulous write, Great Work!!
