Old Diaries - Aspiration as a Seed

Dated: 15th September 2017

Aspiration as a seed

There's a trial

And there's a way

There is always a walk

Down the bay

Where the sun and the moon

In leisure glide

Glide up and down that heaven high

There you are - A bright flower

Growing up in the bay's harb

Earth is wet and your life green

And yet you espied the birds in sky

The life you seek is up there high

And yet you know

You can't reach the sky

But still, I saw the flower try in vain

It blossoms to sway the coy rains

And one fine day it crosses its girth

And the fragrance of its life spreads on Earth

And for that day alone it lives and dies

Dies again to form the seed it was

Dies to dream again for a cause

It knows that the dreams are but to die

And yet when in life, it has aspirations high...
