THE WINGS

THE WINGS

I was shaken and awaken from my dream
It was dark and my heart broke
There was a noise and I hear a voice
It was from the balcony through the window
A sort of fear but I was curious
My body was curling but my mind was opening
Shifted the blanket and lifted the eye-lids
It was dawn and my fear gone
Therea was no sun light but there was twilight
A lovely bird struggling so hard
Making rounds and hopping around
Holding twigs and beholding around
Making the nest without rest
I was curious but it was serious
I melted the day with memories of morning
A day was out and a day was in
I saw something resting on the nest
Mummy showed me the egg and told me to keep away my leg
I was running to bring tomorrows to throw as yesterdays

                     ******

I was shaken and awaken from my dream
I hear a voice as sweet as a cup of cream
I saw a baby and made it my hobby
Its mother was feeding and I saw it reading
The baby was growing and the days were flowing

                    ******

I was shaken and awaken from my dream
The baby was hopping ...... Its mother was laughing
It was wonderful ................Nothing more joyful
Stretching the wings and hitting the air
The baby was in flight and the mother was in delight

                     ******

I was shaken and taken aback
My old neighbour was weeping and sweeping
" He got wings and flew away from me"
Scolding his son holding every one
"The bird got wings
but
The old man lost his wings"
I walked into the day carrying joy and sorrow.
