Pretty Periwinkle, lovable, at my happy doorstep, full of purple flowers, winks at me every time I pass her; she has something to tell me in private, it's evident, she whispered, I tried within limits, but couldn't afford to concede.
The bird asks me What I’d do If I am a bird. I tell him High and high I’d soar So high that I’d see the earth no more I’d be a bird on the tree I’d be a bird that’s free! What you’d do bird If you’re a man? To be fair It’d be my only prayer to God Don’t be so hard Make me once again a bird! Saying this the bird sings And spreads its wings to a sky I can never fly!
Come friend take my hand Let’s go where the chariot of our childhood stood To find out there if those times still stand The ones we think are lost for good. Come friend let’s retrace on the sand Our imprints we think are lost for good The times may there in wait for us stand Where our yore’s chariot stood!
I have it in my dreams The shadowy bus stop On a nowhere zone Where nobody waits ever for a bus, To get off there and wait For the shadows to gather And take strange shapes To turn into a phantom bus That would vanish with me on board!
