I am
Few days ago in random Google search I came across this beautiful picture which seemed to have its own story to tell me. This triggered my imagination leading to this poem;

On the shores with myself, deep inside the waters,
As i feel the dampness on my legs,
The wind gushes past me creating ripples on my soul.
The wind gushes past me creating ripples on my soul.
Looking at the shore, wondering what's in store.
Searching for a way ahead, staring at the sky, praying for silver lining.
Surrounded by the mountain and tress,
Feeling the warmth of the sun around me.
Feeling the warmth of the sun around me.
I imagine the sky which is completely mine,
A place to put my feet firmly on the ground.
A place to put my feet firmly on the ground.
I see the world to be my canvas beckoning me to colour it of my choice.
I am at peace with myself having found my true calling.
Finally I have got my wings ,
waiting to spread and take on a flight of its own.
waiting to spread and take on a flight of its own.
P.S: This poem has been published in Kaleidoscope ezine's May 2012 issue.

DeleteOMG !! I never knew that. Actually google images is my favourite time pass. And almost all my poems are inspired by pictures rather than the write ups and then looking for a picture.... Now I am wondering if what you said can be connected to it!!
Thanks :D
Image looks so nice and pleasing. I remember you saying it once before as well that you get thoughts from the pictures:) It's amazing me. I admire your thought process a lot for this. I loved the last lines of the poem a lot as always your ending is awesome. actually I got lost in between as it was little bouncer for person like me.mine fault. :)
ReplyDeleteKeep writing poems :)
I agree, this is one of the best pictures I have ever found as my wall paper. Everyone who saw my cell phone at that time complimented me for it :)
DeleteThanks so much, yes this poem is deep. Not your fault I think.... !!
