FLIGHT OF THE EAGLE
Sai Shivanarayana
Here below you find a poetic flower culled from the fragrant bouquet pregnant with deep meaning and philosophy, produced by a child of 16, whose life span lasted between 22nd June, 1971 and 4th April. 1988. Like a Rishi whose penance in the previous birth was broken, he revisited this planet for a brief while poems and prose pieces which reveal world-weariness and profound philosophical thought

The flourishing mists of forgotten yesterday
Disclose more to the mind, than
The fog of tomorrow
For memories, indistinct, still
Taunt and say
Why have you traded your
Bliss for sorrow?
Is this what you dreamt of
Ensconced by love
Rechining in comfort on the
Beach by the sea?
Is this the Eagle flight sought for
By the dove?
High up on the sky where the
Eye cannot see?
The dreary, weary Earth?
