If Only I Had Wings????

Dreaming and fantasizing to fight loneliness in a foreign land…
If Only I Had Wings????
Loneliness really stings.
If only I had wings??
I would fly to my motherland.
I will collect mud and sand!
My garden will grow on this mud.
Fragrance of my home will be on every seed and bud.
All my plants will share my loneliness’ burden.
Speaking to them will reduce my grief’s ton.
Rain drops and dew drops will wash my tears.
Humming honeybees will be all ears.
Butterflies around will pep me up.
Friendly frog would croak, what’s up?
Evening breeze will sway the branches and leaves.
My solitude's stab gets milder than it usually is!
From behind the leaves, twinklers wink at me!
These tiny stars fill me with glee.
Sitting on the swing I watch the moon.
It says in my ears ‘you are a queen’!
Princess or empress I don’t want to be.
In my homeland I wish to be.
Loneliness really stings.
If only I had wings…….
