Learning to Fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I



Well Music has aways been an influential force in my life
the lyrics of this particular song are sumthing i can totaly relate to. Sometimes i wonder if we twist our reality to suit our thinking or perception of life ???
and last but not least here is a salute to those greart musicians for evoking such ethreal feelings

An Era passes by

well i havn't been a regular blogger so this might be a rusty stagnated blog of sorts ... kindly pardon me ..

so coming back to the topic after solemn appologies . Its a been a rollercoster month this one moments seem to last long but days seem to zip by me and years oooh they just zoom past faster than the speed of sound. There has been a lot happening in life really at times very turbulent at times frustrating but at the same time i've also managed to find some joy in small and simple things . Largely due to certain influences in my life . One thing i most certaily hav realised is that i m extremely sensitive to certain people but when the affection wanes away i can b equaly harsh an at times cold .

But then i cannot forget that those people who are very close to me . Only a couple of days ago my best pal went to UK for further studies whatever he may say bout coming back to India in all fairness i know the chance is slim and i don't mind it atall. He has a life of his own i cannot hold onto him too long. Though at the same time i cant help but feel nostalgic an shed a few silent tears when the realisation sinks in that a pillar in your life has suddenly vanished.
The time i have spent with his was absolutely fantastic, The laughs the movies the idle hours

A friend walked on
Before i could blink an eye
Oh an Era has passed by
