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
