Wish I was free

Wish I was free
Free as bird, free to fly
Free as wind, roaring through sky

I wish I was cloud
Pour and downpour my heart aloud
Drop, sprinkle and thrust my tears with proud

Wish I was the blue of blue sky
Red in the morning and grey at night
Looking through clouds, dark and light



Wish I was the sea
Roaring at high tides, thriving at shores
Sobbing at low tides, seeping through pores

Wish I was the sunset,
Looked at with eager eyes,
Wondered at with sighs
Orange with hue, red with rue

Wish I was the sunrise,
Crimson and glowing,
Promising and knowing
  
Wish I was the red of bride’s blush
Eager to unite, scared to touch
Willing to fly, shy to nudge
  
Wish I was free of forms
Free from shapes
Free from expressions
Free to flow and free to swirl
Free to row and free to twirl
I wish I could skip on rainbows and jump of mountains
Blast like a volcano and burst like a fountain


Wish I was free

    I wish I too was free to soar through the society's restrictions, fly away from all the expectations, and swoop through the disappointments forced on me!....Lovely poem Sfurti!

    Picture of Freedom so engaging. The poetess celebrates Freedom in varied ways.... Her wish is poetically visualised . What an excellent use of images..crimson and promising sunrise..and your blue wishes...

      you have a great poetic skill... you need not pass the amateur days at all ... you are nearly perfect in your poetic perception and patterns..mesmerised by your verse making power...

    ah, freedom, something to work for, not just wish for, as we all know. i've lately been thinking about rain (as it seems to never stop raining here) and the relative freedom of walking in it, and how it masks tears and other things. this is a lovely mediation, thank you for sharing it.

    Great Poem Sfurti... I really liked the way you described so many forms that you wished to be.. and then the final wish.. to be free of all forms..

    Freedom is freedom but I believe it can be ours. The question is how much are we willing to fight for it, what are we willing to give up? May the speaker find her freedom.

    That's indeed the wish of everyone. I too wish not to soar over the sky but to make all your wishes fulfilled.

    Nice compilation.
