Colorful Birds

Green fruits,with red nodes hang
  on the big mango tree
Some fruits happily sing and swing,
  Suddenly they fly free
Oh No!They are not the fruits
  They're the pretty parrots!

The sky is dark again
  and it's about to rain
A glimpse of blue skies 
   crossed my eyes
what's the blue sky hither?
They're the king fishers

Near the turquoise blue river 
 located the flowering trees.
Scarlet red flowers cover
the whole trees, realities
change swiftly, red becomes white.
White cranes visit in twilight

Amidst the red ixora plants
two purple butterflies.
Powerful mantras, they chant
Look like angels in disguise
When I tried to touch,they scared
They're purple rumped sun birds

Elegant colorful birds in the air,
  teach life lessons everywhere
which we often fail to care

Perchance truth and beauty lie silently side by side within such words as these, waiting to be released by the imagination and power of a poet's dream. Emile.
