FREEDOM IS NEAR

















The invisible bonds strain but hold fast still
But deep in the recess of my soul
That little fire burns still
It stays reflected in my eyes till eternity
That twinkling smile of mirth at our predicament
Of how we take this world so seriously
Of all our cares and material wealth
The transitory joys and sorrows…that plague us so



REFRAIN

I believe in destiny
It was meant to be
Those bonds will break someday
But that twinkling smile shall remain
Will tell tales untold…of ages gone
Of battles won and lost
All in the blink of an eye
That passed like a million ages
It will tell of love and patience



To those who know…
And have been there…
They shall know…
This is just the interim
Just the trial ground
Just the time to stand straining on the outside
And laughing with merriment on the inside
At the inevitability of this freedom



It’s the feel of the sun on your face after days of darkness
It’s the smell of the rain on the air after the very memory of it is parched
Tis manna from heaven
If ever a heaven existed.
It’s indescribable
And everyone who tastes of that fountain,
Shall want nothing more…no more



Why can’t everyone see the light?
The joy that I see…the unbearably beautiful quest
The most desirable pleasure cannot compete with
The greatest richness beyond all worldly paradise
It’s no more surreal
But within a hands reach
Just there waiting to be clenched, devoured and consumed
Oh! The pleasure of consuming and being consumed
