Lend Me…

Lend me your wings, O bird,

So that I may fly,

Be a messenger of freedom-

To soar high in the limitless sky,

Far away from the boredom-

Of this shackled life.

Lend me your color, O sky,

So that I may paint myself with your hue,

Be a messenger of peace-

To soothe your sore eyes with the tranquil blue,

Drifting from the gory reality-

Of this sorry state.

Lend me your legs, O child,

So that I may play all day ignoring all dictums,

Be a messenger of motion-

To make you smile at my tantrums,

Off the barren course-

Of this stagnant life.

Lend me your ears, O friend,

So that I may tell you a story,

Be a messenger of friendship-

To take you to a dream journey,

In a spaceship, away from the hardship-

Out of this world.
