Rasitha Ranasinghe Poet Lay

Wintering Birds

November rains pour from the sky,
seated near window my thoughts cry,
damp, cold weather and island life,
memories hurt  – like a  knife,
water bubbles gets swell and burst, 
deep red autumn hues are my thirst.

Flocks of wintering birds fly high,
warm sense grows in my inward eye,
these birds console my inner strife,
heart starts paying a tune from fife,
birds from homeland flying unversed,
reveal autumn – grief reversed.
