In this darkness, you were my light <br />in hard reality of life, <br />a flower to touch, <br />a land barren, you were, but my child. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />You were mine to cherish and love, <br />but you flew away far and, I could only stare hard <br />and not even cry; <br />for my love did stifle, <br />and as light as a feather, you flew away far <br />taking to places unknown. <br />I wish I could fly but with clipped wings <br />I can't even try. <br />I thought my love would take me high, but it was perhaps doomed <br />at the very start.<br /><br />Payal Lalwani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flight-of-fancy-7/
