Smile and Tears

Over the tree birds are free flying high up the sky with wings flapped like hands clapped sounding loud above the cloud. Somewhere out there birds are crying for the trees are dying and the land where they dwell and like a tragic spell the lands too are barren like the distant mountain finding hope from the rain to shed a tear like a fountain.
