My Angel Spirit Bird Neelkanth

My Angel Spirit Bird Neelkanth Dedicated to Deborah Guzzi I dreamed one day, I was climbing a hill, Away, far away in the Himalayan mountain But I was only a beginner, of climbing a snow peak I wanted to climb to see the world, To feel the Sunshine And the beauty of the glacier Perhaps my fascination for climbing the hills, Was traced by my mind, who knew me more than me It thought to fulfill my long cherished desire, If not in actual, at least in my dream I wanted to feel, how splendid it is To see the world From a snow covered peak To get a bird eye view of the world To learn more about the earth, humans and nature In moments of those total silence and aloofness, I found the blue wing bird, like an Angel spirit for me My beautiful blue bird Neelkanth,* Was my only friend and inspiration, To complete the mission I was climbing the snow covered hill Like a Mountaineering trainee, My tools were few, but my aim was true My only companion, in the journey of my adventures, Was my blue wings bird I know from my childhood days, as my ‘Neelkanth’* I found my blue wings bird, hovering always near me, Like an Angel spirit, to save me from falling, Its beauty lies, not only in its blue wing, But the poison it stored in its purple throat ring, To save the world from the effects of poison I was climbing the hill, And my favorite Blue wing bird, Was accompanying me, in those difficult moments, Like a true well wisher and a true companion At one place I found that, The snow rocks were difficult and steep I tried a short cut, to somehow reach the top, And then came my Angel spirit, From somewhere suddenly, Giving indication to stop immediately I decided to go, as the spirit was indicating, I changed my course, as shown by the Angel spirit Next moment I heard a sliding of the snow rock, The rock which I was trying to climb, Were falling and were slipping deep in the glacier My eyes became tearful, when I saw my Angel spirit It had saved my life, From being buried in the snow glacier, For ever and for ever After seeing my expressions of love and gratitude, The bird flew away from there Leaving me inspired for many more coming moments, To start climbing the hills again and again Next moment I was climbing, The hills with more vaguer, as usual My angel bird had given me enough To keep trying Till I reach my goal Or feel the Sunshine Ravindra Kanpur India 30th April 2010 * Neelkanth.
