Sing Now, All the Birds of the Earth
The whispering breeze across the vibrant landscape,
gliding beneath the cerulean sky of serenading spring,
turned into the menacing suspect of a sudden scare
of the invisible danger slyly afloat, changing our lives.
In entangled social web of modern life of collapsed space,
the distance created on the lone track of changing times,
enlarged perforce at the compulsion of survival instinct,
widened gap in sense of proximity will remain unclosed,
In the dusk sky I still see the sunburst spectral splendor,
the rays of hope paint golden lines on the gloomy clouds.
It won’t be long in the draft of fresh air they’ll drift away,
darting shadow will tell us it’s time to revere ruined nature.
From the debris of abominable nightmare mankind will rise
like the sphinx in the enlivening gleam of the new dawn.
Free from confined psyche let’s tell all the birds of the earth,
sing now the farewell swansong for the invisible invader.
