On a rainy day!

A cry so raw so filled with pain
Alive in my ears even now
Surfaced again and again
As she struggled to cope

The nest! Washed and gone
She searched afar eyes filled with hope
Fluttering her damp feathers
Jumping from bough to bough

Time will heal I thought so!
Yet the cry in my ear
Refuses to go

I wander afar in hope to elude
When it dawns
I may turn or fold my hands
Yet how will I drown the piercing cry?

Such a small being
Such a dainty thing
So much grief
So little to hold

She looked up at the sky
And seemed to ask
Where have you taken my babies?
And why?

The frantic pace and the starved soul!

Its a new space for me to be in! A space where I feel so disconnected from the net these days...

I am wondering if i have reached a saturation point with all the information pouring in...

I am possibly driving myself nuts by too much work on the laptop...

I am tired and need a break on the seas or in highlands somewhere away from the humdrum....

The lure of the cities unknown...

I long to set sail for the lands unseen...

My mind wanders on the roads winding high...

I paint a picture of the valley beyond....

The meandering path beckons me

The trees are lush and tall rushing to meet the sky

I come to the edge only to be spell bound

Awed by the vast expanses

To take the bridge across

Or to descend to the valley below

To embrace the risk on the other side

Or to unfurl the mysteries of the deep

I am undecided, as yet!
