as a bird on the streets <br />i had a natural song <br />which came right from my heart <br />in my voice <br />which was graced by god <br />as a bird on the stage <br />in front of a gathering <br />a mic frightening me <br />i seem to have lost my voice..yet <br />to keep the cheer going <br />iam compelled to sing a song <br />which is not mine <br />i haven't gathered a crowd <br />who would applaud my silence even <br />i sing a song without joy <br />to keep the cheer going <br />i know i don't have to try too hard <br />to escape the situation <br />i still have my wings to fly <br />which would take me to the meadows <br />a song of joy i could sing there <br />my soul would listen<br /><br />Samanyan Lakshminarayanan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-song-of-joy/
