Live Like a Bird

Life is a stage,
And we, singers reveling its meaning
In the guise of a vibrant symphony!

Life is the sky itself,
Allowing us to fly and soar
In its high avenues,
Like a bird living solely
For the sake of its freedom!

Why,
Unchain yourself from that which holds you back
Untie your wings from your back
And allow yourself to soar,
As much as you would want to
And as high as you would want to
Caring not for your falls
Since, though this world is made of dualities,
It seeks to see you being happy upon its soils,
Living while being carefree and bubbling with laughter
For a bird you are,
Tuning your songs according to the seasons and the tides
That offer themselves to you!

Just follow your instincts
And fly towards
Where your heart bids you to!
