A call

A sudden call
seems to be heard,
from beyond the cracking wall.

A decade of stories
from failings, miseries
full of holes, falls
has been built
written off, learnt.

Now
the being
is beginning to rise
suddenly ears comforting the eyes
if I jump off
a ten-storied building
I know
my wings will not let me die
I am prepared to fly.

My nest
from where I began my journey
is perhaps calling me
to carry on
with the unfinished text
I am getting ready
as it were, to sing
to take off with the lost identity
and flutter the rest
of the times left, a-borning*!



*a-borning – wishing of new hope; a colloquialism. The word I learnt from a well-known poet from England, Herb Bryce. I wish he reads it!
