I had a bird with me all these days, with its feet firmly grasped in my palms.
I wanted to keep him while he wanted to fly and our desires never converged
It always fidgeted trying to free itself, occasionally pricking my skin
I was in terrible pain and I could see that with him too
Today I noticed he gave up protesting and was calmly resting in my grasp
But his eyes lost that charm.. they were pale and dry
He wasn't happy neither were I
After a while looking at him, I just loosened my grip,
But he didn't move, may be in disbelief of an opportunity he thought lost forever
I just patted him and said.. leave now before I close my grip
He looked at me and unfolded his wings
I stared at the sky till his tiny tail disappeared
A tear just dropped.. I told him waving the final good bye..
I will miss you but today at last, with you, I got my freedom too
