Flightless Orizuru


This is me fantasizing what if all my wishes would come true . And comparing it with the reality and still keeping hope to keep going. Orizuru (Japanese) meaning folded crane. According to old Japanese beliefs if you fold a thousand paper cranes a wish of yours comes true.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_and_the_Thousand_Paper_Cranes
                                                                                 


Only if paper cranes flew
All my wishes would come true

Some hung pretty, strung thousand in a lace
Some perched on table, sidelong aesthetic vase
Some full patterned, colours several a piece
Some simple white, still handsome indeed

Some lie on floor, as angry crumpled lump
Some torn to half, in a waste paper dump
Some drew blood, with paper cuts deep
Some tainted soggy, with last night's weep

But on all hills of joy, in valleys of pain
Amid forest of efforts, wandering lost insane
I march on ahead, till the life-moon wanes
& keep searching treasure, 
keep folding paper cranes

Still ,
Only if paper cranes flew....
