When you know what you ought to do,
When you know what it is you want
All the pieces fit together.
The discontent, the feeling of being lost,
The endless search and the failures,
The lack of joy while you tried to do
That what is not and was never
What you really wanted to,
It all starts to make sense.
The bird finally stops running
With its little feet, towards the finish line,
It spreads its wings wide and soars
to the height, it was meant to reach.
In doing only what its heart desires
It does something magnificent,
It changes the picture of the landscape.

Haha, no worries. Stories are tricky things, even if you have an idea for one it never seems to let you write it until it’s ready. Like I said, just send me an email, saying “Hey” or something and I’ll email you my thoughts and helpful hint when you’re ready.
How are your eyes doing? Allergies better?

Even though thoughts are blanketed by bitter doubts,
Even if your wings of life are muddied by smut of despair,
When you soar your wings and look at the sky with sustenance,
With will and determination to guide,
You’ll take a flight through burning sky,
For you are invincible when you believe in your will.

Those are beautiful lines!
You are invincible when you believe in your will. True.
But You are blissful only when a path you chose brings you so much joy that you stop waiting for a destination. You walk to walk, you fly to fly and not just to get somewhere.

You could say that. I look at it like flowing like a river, effortlessly, letting the force inside you pour out of you freely.
No fight for freedom just an acceptance of it. It takes struggle and will to be free from someone else’s chains, but it takes love and acceptance to be free from chains you yourself tied yourself down with.
