By Manjusha Dole
With kindness in my heart
I straddled upon the crossroads with red and green lights right above my head
Whether I should look left or walk towards right
I stood still with a cold chill
As I looked up in the sky with sun covered by dark clouds
Something striked my forehead
Like a flash of light
I felt the hit as it penetrated deep in to my skin
Like soft pink fluff all over the body
Like feathers of a dove
Popping up from my being
As I take the road straight ahead
With greater freedom
Coming out of the cultural norms
With liberated spirit
Now I soar
While I can listen to my beats what they are telling
To sky rocket towards the billboard
On the next lane in the street
Like an unseen oasis in the desert sand of mediocrity and conformation
Now I fly with wings of spirit
