Poetry - Fear

Fear The young seagull was perched on a high cliff He wanted to learn to fly, But he was too scared even to move, He couldn't even try. The mighty sea was roaring beneath him It was such a great height. What would happen if he fell Just when he took his flight? His mother called out to him, "Come on! Try, my dear! Why are you so afraid? There is nothing to fear!!" The seagull spread out his wings And threw himself downwards, He got the first taste of freedom - And started to glide upwards.

Poetry - The Song of Dawn

The Song of Dawn The lunatic stars of the New moon sky, Had painted the earth, With a tone of Sorrow. A sorrow,pregnant with love.... The crimson faces Of the unknown men, Were flickering.... Somewhere beneath the starry silhouette. The urban street lights whispered In my ears. They made me forget words.... They made me forget rhythms.... The unspoken words, The unfolded beliefs were submerged By the rays of truth and life.... Then you came -- "The Song of Dawn".....
