Birdsbellow

Flock of birds met in a marsh Dusky breeze welcoming all Sat on the branches of mangrove Chirping, clattering on mighty matters. Sharing nuts, grains, seeds and saplings Teasing one another with colourful feathers Discussing their flight and heights they cover Lastly about a place to rest – their nest. All young ones fear, mothers hugged with pain All birds had tears, nature joined as rain Night setting in with much fuss Sparrows, Crows, Cuckoos, Mynahs in a mess. Trees scarce and vanishing with widening Kestrel nest is weaving grass on trees Invested a lot of time and energy in building Hearts tremble to see the broken nest. Oh! Mother Nature! Create space to settle as stars Or provide skills to swim like fish Or make tall towers and light houses host nests Or bless the trees with “nest” to never die.
