Poem Title:
Poem
Flash of light enormous, pass through the sky Pilgrims to different sites in accord with season’s cry Exactly on the same flyway for ages they fly; Bar-headed Geese in flight dwell in sky infinite They live in central Asian coldest lakes in summer Breed in Mongolia, China and Ladakh, separated from Kashmir, Live in Pakistan and Indian plains in winter. In flight, they generate huge heat Powerful flapping of their wings Over the oceans, forests, lands and cities Days after days, nights after nights Create sufficient oxygen Energize their muscles, lungs, heart and capillaries. Birds without boundaries, citizens of the earth, water and sky Choose different sites as suits them for different activities Without dividing the globe by countries, nations and races; Without passport or visa they move, live on natural resources; Born in Nature it is their only refuge They die in it without knowing any subterfuge. Spreading their wings at times they fly without a single flap Glide through the sky, a flash of joy, Lapping the sky gracefully. Longing to be birds in the heart of our hearts Free from all manmade burdens of life We can neither shake off the burden nor in us carry the bird’s spirit We faintly imitate them without reaching their site. Birds live in Nature ever active happy and prolific Which is hardly possible for us With our vain human pride; Children of Nature we are part of it Instead of collaborating with it We try to dominate and boss over it. © Aju Mukhopadhyay, 2019
