Mirage

In the free sky,
He flies.
Soaring above
In the blue expanse
A vision of world
From a distance
A song in heart
Of free existence,
He flies…
And dipping a little
He thought he would rest
In the oasis
Little did he know
That what he thought
A haven of peace
Was just a mirage…
In the free sky,
He flies.

The wind blows sharp;
The night is long,
The night is dark…
She walks alone
Takes tiny steps
Bracing her heart
She prays (in silence)
Lining the path,
Silhouettes galore
Voices of darkness
Rise to the fore
But in her soul
She sings a song
Of the morning to come,
When the night is gone
Walks she on,
The obscure night she defies;
As she walks and waits
For the sun to rise...
