To Fly

To fly away to the celestial,  
To spread my wings in the untroubled skies,  
To find a home in a serene place,  
Away from the turbulence gnawing at my mind.  

To fly to a place where the night doesn't beckon,  
To spread my wings in a realm bathed in light,  
A place where I don’t wade through murky waters,  
A place where I am embraced by the glory of each new day.  

To fly to Eden,  
A place where the incorruptible are like sprouting seeds.  
A place where the fruits of the trees bestow youthfulness and vitality,  
A place where the soft murmurs of the rivers unveil mysteries—  
An Eden where darkness is kept at bay for the souls of its inhabitants.  

To fly to a place where I can sit at the feet of the sages,  
A place where I can drink from the rivers of wisdom,  
A place where a hand is always there to hold and guide me.  
Flying to a realm of perpetual peace and tranquillity is my earnest desire.
