By Nehreen Nazir
Sun bedazzled an anxious heart towards an unprecedented journey
An injured soul decided for a long course but eyes striking forest nearby
Heart flip flops where to lead them an inner voice favoured green
Body connecting with the atmosphere around just to internal sores
Hours passed useless certifying deep incompetence
Eyes were blinking over and again reducing the size of tears
Meanwhile wounded bird arrived the place trying to reach breeding ground
But the merciless wounds throughout the body blocking massive trials
With every strike to the ground bird built-up, not ready to face the fall
There my hands lend help to the bird, bird revealed deep discomfort thereafter
At movie bygone flashed quickly while watching the struggle of bird
Winning trial finally bypasses the rigor as bird reached the breeding ground
There I pronounced eyes beholding light of success despite blistening pain
The bird unintentionally paraphrased my diffidence into confidence
My smile less face shines brightly emitting rays of delight
As heart decided to face the sight walked away from
I faced up all the hurdles and flagged victory over them all
Realised inspiration in and around twigged by my lord.
