Companion

I sit every morning in my patio And as I sip my morning tea A russet sparrow in its glory Comes to sit by me She twitters and twitters incessantly As if to tell her tale With a radiant glow in her eyes She perches amidst the rails Once a while she nibbles Into the plate of grain I give Hopping and springing she wanders Picking some twigs and leaves I talk to her at random She nods as if she understands Then pauses and patters so keenly Like a very trusted friend I love her sweet company Hope she does it too A tiny little birdie she is With shades of black grey hue I enjoy the moments so dearly I long to be one like her To be ignorant of all the worldly sorrows And just be happy as you are Rhyme 20th July, 2020
