Richa Mehta - On Wings - Sestina

Richa Mehta - On Wings - Sestina

Pecking away at fleeting moments, br one, or two, or three... lost them; br Leaving me behind, I soar away; br so many dimensions of space and time br mixed up with every flap of my wings - br Wonder where I will meet me again? br br Fantasies build up in my mind again, br Linking reality with imagined moments; br Magpies flutter wishes on my wings, br each one the same, yet too many of them. br Gentle heartbeats tracking the time, br I arrive, but destinations turn me away. br br Something is waiting, why look away; br I ready myself to fly far again, br crossing the barriers set by time. br Jumping over these past moments, br I smile a wave back at them - br years fall apart under my wings br br Time was flying on these wings, br now they fly me further away br than time ever flew; I tell them br to take me to gentle life again; br relive some, and forget other moments. br I find myself dancing with time. br br Looking for a life beyond time, br I rise higher on special wings; br blinking memories into the moments br that watch me live and die away. br I find myself - lose my dreams again; br still searching, trying to find them. br br I hid my heart deep within them - br those dreams that are now lost in time. br Forward and back through life again, br didn't know even dreams had wings; br on new feathers they ran away, br skipping through gaps in moments. br br Catching up with them again, I run, ask them - br where are those dreams, the moments missing in time; br one, or two, or three on wings, they smile at me and fly away...
