I am on my way

I am a thirsty fish
longing to swim in
in the ocean's deeps

A bird trapped in sordid waters
flapping its wings, to
free itself from its mesh
and fly heavenwards

I am a child
tender in age
crying for Mother's breast milk and caress
wanting Father's touch
and the tenderness of his kiss on my forehead

A traveller
staging the course of his journey
seeking his pathway, navigating
readying for the challenges of an adventure
And I am, I am on my way.
