Fly away returns


Forever is a long way away but that is where I'll be
Under the eternal flames burning bright across the sea
Silent with empty thoughts none left without doubt
Cold and Alone

There were many once upon a time listening with hope
But little more arrived than the rushing down the slope
Screaming in to deaf ears and hearts no longer stout
Turning to Stone

Taken far upon tip of wing into the darkened nights
The reflections far below the glint of twinkling lights
Belonging in this place where none can hear the spout
Upon the Throne

The drafts of the winds carried voice across the air
And where it fell it lay always broken and in despair
It wasn't a choice to arrive but is what came about
Absent and Blown

Opportunity had knocked and now little of it remains
Sands shifted and life was washed toward the drain
Seeds planted with care and love died in the drought
Reap what is sown

As I couldn't sleep, I chose to write.
We all make choices.

Sort:  

I love to read or write or think whenever I cannot sleep. The last line is such a lovely one, sir.

This one sounds like you need to make a find or make a beat to rap to :)

Not bad for a 'sleepy write-up', lol.

Opportunities come and go, but how we use them is up to us - we could either harvest or fade into nothingness

My eyes went straight to the last lines of each stanza. Those lines together made a nice short verse, too.

@tarazkp hello 👋 sir Wow looked very beautiful, filled with a beautiful writing, filled with mind, we could not actually get a lot of things from steamit, when something came from the unknown, when a bird comes back to its home, it feels very annoying, the whole day kothai fly fly again The feeling of coming back to his home is very different from what he said
