There will be a dawn when she would flutter free in the vast blue sky
And her soul would rejoice the dance of freedom with eternal joy.

When the entire sky would belong to her, and she would only belong to the sky
When she will be embraced by the blue sky, her heart would chirp with delight, and she may cry”
Our mind is a limitless sky and we can only be an albatross flying in the vast expanse to occasionally discover the joys of sublimity!
