Final Flight

"Final Flight"

Time flows ...
Pace slows...

Relations change shades....
kinship fades...

I lose directions and succumb to the shifting tide..
I tried ...but this fear of wilderness...I could not hide...
I am vulnerable...with narrow choices...
I stand amidst the crowd ...
I hear them clear and loud...
though none talking to me......amongst the cacophony of voices....

Some show mercy... some fear this state...
....but time unfolds this bitter fate...

I don't care of materials I ran for day and night...
I don't want to hold on to possessions that were dear...
All I want is the warmth of someone's hand ...near...
All I crave for is a close one's sight...

I stand on the edge...holding on tight...
God!...I might fall...
In desperation I call!
someone whispers to me ...
to Let go and dive...
for my final flight....
