I just want to be a bird for a day

I just want to be a bird for a day

I don't want to be a mighty eagle,
nor a colorful peacock.
I just want to be a little sparrow
Don't want to be sing like a myna,
nor swim elegantly as a swan.
I just want to be a little sparrow

Just a bird
away from my home,
office and love.
Away from everyone whom I love
and everyone who loves me.

Away from everyone who hated me, 

away from everyone I had met until now,
and everyone I am to met in future.

I just want to be a bird for a day

Just to be myself
Just to listen to the whisper of the winds
To watch the sunrise and sunset
perched on top of a lonely tree.
Just to taste freedom and my true self.

Just a bird
Away from anxieties,
hope and aspirations.
Away from all to-do's
planning and tracker sheets.
Away from all my past,
mistakes and decisions.


I just want to be a bird for a day

Come upon me my Lord.....

When my heart is hard and parched up,
come upon me with a shower of mercy.
When my grace is lost,
come upon me with a smile of a child.

When all the joy of life is lost,
come upon me with the melody of a song.
When all hope is lost,
come upon me with the compassion of words.

When the tumultuous work
shuts me out from beyond,
my lord of silence
come upon me with thy peace and rest.

When my weak heart sit crouched
in a dim corner,
break open the door and
come with a ceremony of a king.

when the desires and dust blinds me,
come with thy light and thunder.
