Minded Thoughts

Someone gave my mind
Wings to fly the world
Clouds were jealous:
So were the birds.
Without bidding farewell to my heart
Or to my soul,
She wandered off to unknown lands
With no determination whatsoever
With no destination, she set off,
To create her new destiny.

Saw lands and souls never met before.
Saw things never known before. 
She continued her quest
Of discoveries
Flapping her wings, untired.
The lone mind wandered.

She flew and flew
Until she grew bored of her solitude.
"How nice would it be
For a fellow mind like me?"

She wandered off,
Looking for other minds.
"There's one over there!", 
She screamed.
Soon her excitement withered to dust
For it's wings were silver
And hers were white 
Wasn't ready to be outshined.
Continued her flight.

On her way, learned others'
 plight.
The world? 
Not what she
 thought.
Stopped when she saw another
 one 
"Oh, how sad", she sighed 
For it's wings were huge
And her's were small
Wasn't ready to be outflown.

Got down on the earth
To rest
But didn't lose her zest
Saw some travellers that seemed like fellow minds.
"Can we join too?", they asked.
Looked at them in despair
For their wings were too many 
And hers were not.
Wasn't ready to be outnumbered.

Flew off into the mountains 
Saw the cloud drenched
 peaks
Saw the rivers frozen in
 time
Saw the soft snowy hills 
Hidden behind those

Something caught her
 eye.
Wings!
White it was: like hers
Small it was: like hers
Solitary it was; like hers.
Flew down to meet her new companion. 
"Oh, no! His wings are broke!"

The broken mind looked at her
In hope.
She smiled.
Torn one from her pair
And gave it to him.

Him and her forever
Flew with the small white wings
together.

The two minds flew
 into the clouds;
With each other's souls.
Into the gold-lit sky,
Into paradise.
