My Wings Poem by Alam Sayed

My Wings

Rating: 5.0


I thought I would knock at your doors a trillion times,
One day you would deem my pesterings were no crimes.
I was a prehistoric fool.
It was a stubborn desire to make you listen to the songs of my soul,
But in the nineteenth century Darwin duly understood
That I would be doomed.
Your thoughts were rightly read by evolutionary psychology,
Your rejection seems no more fuzzy.

After your denial I was overwhelmed,
Now my days are not cut short, but my wings are pinioned.
Meanings bloom in the mortal wings of a butterfly;
With the intensity of stars, stay awake villages of the great sky.
Among the meanings of money, love will always fade.
Among the meanings of body, you will always find a blade.
Now, I care no more; but I don't like not to care.

After your denial I was overwhelmed, Now my days are not cut short, but my wings are pinioned. Meanings bloom in the mortal wings of a butterfly; With the intensity of stars, stay awake villages of the great sky. - A caterpillar has now transformed into a butterfly on whose wings meanings bloom, and thanks to the denials that were instrumental in bringing the change.

A thought provoking poem beautifully crafted. There are times when the rejection that we got in life fuels us to soar. Our failures are sometimes our wings to fly to distant places and at times we can even claim the sky. A great piece full of wisdom.10
