Desire
Navanita Medhi
I want to fly
like the birds
as freely as they do –
by stretching my wings wide.
Like the humming birds,
have the desire to soar with joy
as high as, is possible;
like the cuckoos,
want to roam all around
by singing the song of spring.
I wish to go
beyond the blue sky,
as vigorously as the eagles;
want to see
the whole of God’s universe –
all His creations – big and small;
like the white doves
hope to spread the messages
of love and peace
to everyone whoever I would meet
on the road.
I want to fly
as far as I can
by stretching my wings wide.
