In the land of the firebirds, they tell this story
About this beautiful female, even the oceans basked her glory
With the bust of a female and fins of gold
She won the hearts of both young and old
Until a day she saw a man
Her heart went thumping from the ocean into the sand
His home was land
And walking was alien to her clan
She decided to leave her home
Swimming through the water’s all alone
She reached the shore
But land was inhospitable to the core
They say she still tries to walk on land
It’s just like the words written on sand
Mesmerized and lost in the fable
I didn’t realize a guest on my table
Waving his hands in front of my eyes
I saw him; I knew he was my old friend in a new disguise
His smile keeps me awake
To my latest and most foolish mistakes
He flapped his wings
And burned a few things
All he said was “the mermaid is a dream
Dreams that cannot walk on the land of reality
But can swim in our heart’s stream
And you don’t understand it what a pity!
I retorted saying you can achieve anything
Or tell what’s the whole firebird thing
We fly to dispel darkness of the mind
And make that soul one of his kind
His silence was killing more than his smile
I knew I had missed the point by a mile
Not all desires he said meet their reality
But get lost in them till eternity
What differentiates life from dreams is this identity
Remember you don’t get everything in your kitty
