I am a vagabond: A poem by Nisha Tandon

I am a vagabon

The freedom I revel in is my idyllic paradise No boundaries are set that limit my flight
I flap my mighty wings and soar azure skies


No paths I traverse that lead to any destination 
No regulations are imposed upon me to follow
I wander where my carefree feet take me
I worry not for the coming morrow

Nothing can bind me, I am a nomad
No seeds of attachment are ever sown 
No emotions I possess that leave behind tears 
Unmatched laughter is all I own 

I wander alone in the pristine environs
Ocean blue skies above and lush green grass below
I wander solus in the virgin locales 
And flawless meadows lesser-known   

I am a Wanderess, a euphoric wayfarer
An enigmatic mystery yet to unfold 
I shall leave the world with no legacy behind 
Yet an enthralling story for generations to be told
