Bluebird

By Keerthana BS

What if I met his eyes

And the truth comes out!?

The ‘Bluebird’ that is reborn,

In the nest that was burning atop

Will this be my phoenix?

What is this fear?

That makes me smile more than before,

I may fly again with older feathers,

Hopeful to trade them for new ones

What if I met his eyes

And I actually become the dream!?

What is this present??

Which feels like this has been my past always,

And I will sing with a voice for the future!

What if I met his eyes

And I actually saw myself!?

In a better plane, like he sees my smile;

Isn't it scary to see the world,

All in a balance of good and best!

Though I say glass half full,

And he means glass half empty!!

What if I met his eyes

And I see the colors of his twinkle?!!

Lots of my words are forcing themselves out,

For conversations that were dreamt of!

Eyes welling up with emotions,

That were put on 'Do not Disturb'!!

What if I met his eyes

And I meet this new person in my mirror?!

Realise that it's time,

To shed my colourful flowers

And pave way for the new fruits
