Flight Of The Wingless Bird Poem by Asad Ali

A wingless bird cannot fly
Cannot even see but the handful of sky
Will never know invisible trails in the sneaky air
No zephyr, no twister will ever lift it high
To inhabit an ocean and stuck in a shell
Gleaming fire of the pearl is the agony of an unopened eye
Gone are the times of holding their tale and trailing endlessly
Seasons will now come and descend on it from the sky
Time will slow down and droop beside like an old dog
In the midst of lifeless dreams entire world will cry
But behind the mist of lost dreams and debris of chained flight
The greatest consoler of all will never let its smile dry
The clairvoyant of Love will come to rescue with its crystal ball
And will unveil the mystery of floating prison for every bird that fly
Love will smile with it on the follies of myopic strivers
And will roam with it till dusk and let it sleep on its thigh
