A Tale ...

We laid down under the diamond sky
Wrapped up in velvet , sheltered from the storm
An illuminating moon rose to meet the stars
Once upon a time .. he began to sing a tale
Smiling we were as the dream went on
…
A cloud shattered into vivid pieces of light
Finding their way down to earth
A piece encountered a wounded bird
“what’s wrong?” it glared
My wing is broken and I can’t fly
I am falling down in an endless sky
The ground seems so far to reach
Where is the love?
Where is to piece?
To carry me home as I please
Why can’t the world live at ease?
Why cant we all stand as one?
Just like the moon
Just like the sun
How far is land of god from here?
Is it as far as love…which can’t be reached
Is it as far as peace.. that’s just being preached
Every man is for his own..
And you ask why the world is gone
“I will keep falling.” The bird declares
I vow to be lost … never to be found
Until the earth lights up the moon
………………………
That’s the story of which I sing
My light will soon be off and dimmed
And fear will be your hearts that beat
One for all , and all for one ..
For till that day arrives .. wounded birds you all shall be
With no heart to feel .. no wings to fly…
So don’t you dare and ask me “why???”
