MY  LIBERATION  LOVE

  

a golden eagle. Perched on a broken 

trunk of a Sal tree. Woke up. 

 

Raise its head. Its eyes wide. Alert. 

Face the endless blue above and 

all round.

 

Spread stretch its wide arms. Its feathers 

glistening. Streaks of light pouring over 

its majestic form, cutting through dense 

clouds split each ray into saffron yellow

hues blend with blue. 

 

Take off. Soar high. Like an air flight on 

scheduled time. Fly.

 

Fly far. Come to me. Take me. In your 

wings. In your flight. Into boundlessness. 

Eternity. 

 

Felt. 

 

Not in words or acts. But like luminous 

light from street light poles guide at night. 

 

In your very flight. Freedom. 

 

Free. Freed from belly of delusions

like a python’s entwine and devour. 

 

Bathe me clean. And with a soft breeze’s 

grace, hug. Enclasp me. Let me. Know

you. 

Embrace me.
