Away I want to slip into slumber sweet and deep,
With the wings of goddess of sleep
Never to return but ever to fly.
From horizon to horizon will I flaot like a boat,
And swim like a bird in the world infinite,
And unknown to me yet mostly my own.
Soothed will I be from the hurries and worries,
And fret and fury of mundane,
With no askings, no if’s and but’s of officialdom.
Yes, there, there, there far away into eternity,
Aching I am to pluck and scud away.

I am reminded of the hindi song- panchhi banu udti phirun mast gagan mein ….. and Shelley’s Skylark . This wish to fly and soar high led to invention of aeroplanes etc. Why pessimism in the last lines ? or is it a desire to be one with the infinite !
Nice poem Bali ji !
Thanx. It came out spontaneouly as I was not having good time.
