Over The Lake Poem by Aneek Chatterjee

I've a colorful balloon in my mind
Never stays inside, flies in the wind

Over the lake, near the mountain blue
Does not inform or give any clue

Flies according to its will
In summer, rains and in chill

I call it freedom, from fear and cage
Love its childish nuances, courage

Once the blue mountain asked:
‘Dare touch me'? It nodded and kissed

the rugged cheeks; the lake smiled in silence
The forest watched in joy, from a distance

Recently, sky had sent invitation to my balloon
It's planning to sail there very soon

We all have a balloon like this
in our mind; nurture the child, it's a bliss
