The bird sings from deep within <br />Crying out plaintively – Now aloud <br />Resonating from all sides – I ask, <br />“Where are you singing from? ” <br />Now softly, a mere moan <br />But, continuously singing <br />The bird pours forth its heart. <br />A captive soaring with clipped wings <br />The bird tries to fly – But, <br />The voice, the lament, <br />The plea to be set free <br />The upturned eyes filled with tears <br />The longing to leave behind the past <br />And soar across horizons, <br />All these remain in my heart. <br />There is an empty space within my heart <br />Where my soul lives without a mate, <br />Her wings clipped by duty <br />Caged by traditions and society, <br />Her cry is heard in my songs <br />Her voice looks out of my eye. <br />The sadness so heavy <br />The tears so real - Alone <br />Singing music to the world <br />Unable to share the sorrows <br />Bearing its burdensome loneliness <br />Alone, alone, all alone <br />The solitary bird sings <br />From deep within my soul!<br /><br />Angelina Pandian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/music-within/
