Jump life like there are no parachutes

How often do you search in your mirror,
for that ever eluding smile,
the one, as wide as a mile ?

How often do you look for your freedom,
of swinging by the air,
and to breathe like you don't care ?

How often do you miss gazing at the stars,
in the eerie silence all while night,
and wake up to the sunshine, merry bright ?

How often do you reminisce the memories,
of playing with your old childhood toys,
and those little million joys ?

How often do you aspire to break free,
rid yourself off the baggage of why,
and fly among those eagles soaring sky high ?

I do, I do.
Everyday.

So,
I, me and myself are in cahoots
to jump life,
like there are no parachutes...

Bubble

I
gaped
at the shiny water bubble
as it traversed
the space
inking the air
in myriad flights
just as the caged soul
essays its words
when lent the freedom
to express.

The bubble broke
in tumultous breeze,
vanishing into thin silence
leaving the traces
of its meandering vibes.

And,I
smelt the arriving storm
before the rain and sunshine.
