An Uninvited Guest

To give my upset mind some rest,
              once I went to a forest at my mom’s behest.
                         There I saw a beautiful nest,
                           built by a bird with a crest.
                        The bird had a colorful breast;
                          I observed it with pure zest.
                        To it I was an uninvited guest;
                     and my presence it couldn’t digest.
                        It flew to the east and the west;
                          I was the cause for its unrest;
                   my sojourn there, for it was a real test.
                        Finally sensing its candid request,
                     I left the place, wishing it all the best!
