Fly


I wonder if Icarus knew

Would he fear falling

And give up freedom

Or would he still wish he could fly

Imagine having wings

Soring high above the ground

Flying up and beyond

Until everything becomes as tiny as a dot

Escaping the gravity that pulls you down

You rise higher and higher

Where the earth screams beneath,

'Beware the fall'

The wind brushing your cheecks

A laugh escapes your lips

'Free at last', your lungs sigh

With the taste of freedom as swwet as honey

No noise from below reaches your ears

When the listener becomes the speaker

And have conversations deeper than the sea

From up there you see the beauty

Intricately designed just for you

Every puzzle piece falls into its place

As a grand plan gets revealed

If I were him

I would choose to fly

The sun might burn my wings

But in that moment I will be free.

To answer that question let me explain it to you this way. Sure people have different desires and ambitions but tell me something what is it are you trying to accomplish by fulfilling them? Got the answer? Yes that's what I am trying to say. You may have your own way sorted out to get to this state of...

Good or Bad

The above picture, most of you already know what this is. For those of you who are not aware, it is a symbol from Taoism. Don't get me wrong I'm not preaching a religion here but I am trying to get a point across. It depicts two kinds of energy- Yin and Yang. Yin stands for darkness or negative energy whereas Yang stands for light and positive energy. It symbolizes a perfect union between light and dark. The best part comes when you notice the little dots belonging to the opposite energy. Interpretation is pretty simple, in dark there is light and in light there is dark.  One thing that we all agree on is the fact that good and bad can't exists without the other. If there was no bad then there would have been no way to define the good. Similarly, if there was no good then bad would not have existed either. The point is each of us carry seeds of both. When the need arises we switch between them yet we often find ourselves being partial towards one of them.  Coming back to th...
