Sipra's Diary:Poem> "Sight of Flying Birds." [. Re-named FLIGHT OF THE FLOCKS OF BIRDS]

 "SIGHT OF FLYING BIRDS"

What a pleasure to gaze at the flocks of birds in the sky

Fluttering the dazzling wings in the golden sunbeams 

 

Coming back to   the forests for rest in nests !

 

They always fly with a fantastical   pattern 

 

Their wings flutter in rhythm, never haphazard !

 

I wonder to think who is their choreographer!

 

 

It is not a joyride for them at all, as we imagine;

 

From the sun rising and setting in each morning 

 

What energy and pain they need to spend for living!

 

Can our pleasure be turned to empathy for this fragile  being.?

 

I noticed them, through window pane taking care of wings

 

Always busy with sharp beak or claw for mending!

 

 

As the darkness moves slowly  

 

What they twitter in the early morning ?

 

With ‘Kichmich , kichimich' sound  in chorus tune ?

 

Do they give  ‘get up call’ to all  of their own  flock..

 

To grab grains  from the  nearest  plane

 

Before any other flock   can  encroach!..  L=42/W=165. /Dec’25
