Poem is a Flight

Mind took me
Places.
Hovered on
Dreamy lands..

Thoughts took
A shape.
A Blue Bird
Was born.

It grew wings.
Was meant to
Fly high..
...
But my throat
Is a graveyard
Where words
Often die.

A standstill.

Fluttered wings.
Poked my mind.
And hit
Some walls.

A frustration
Set in. 

Each day an
Attempt was made.
But how do
You make..

A Dumb person
Talk?

A pen
With a paper
Was such a 
Plan!

And at the 
Behest of 
Ink trails,
Emancipation came.

Thoughts flew
Off my brains.

Peace is just
Another bird.
Poem is a flight.
