Animal Kingdom (36) Fly

FLY

******

He flies high and high,

To the top limit of mesh,

Soft wings strike the bars,

Like a smash of lash.

This parrot is new guest,

Shifted in this cage,

Time will melt all his dreams,

In the number of days,

O dear,forget the sky,

Forget the flight,

Be a beauty,a showpiece,

In shining cage,so bright.

One day,with passage of time,

Age old sun will be new,

Limitless space will spread arms,

Sky will come to kiss you.

You will be free from bondage,

To be thrown out of cage,

Mother Nature will shelter you,

In divine lap,beyond all age.

Death will be the glittering gate,

To enter the open sky,

Death will break all chains,

Then you will fly,fly.and fly.

ANIMAL KINGDOM (14) Fly,fly.and----FLY

 ANIMAL KINGDOM (14) Fly, fly,----and FLY
**************************************

She was a beautiful hen,
Little female of pigeon,
Was hatching her egg,
Imagined her dream vision-

-' Little pigeon will come out,
She will feed in his beak,
She will guard him day-night,
New-born will be too weak.

She will teach him to fly,
Up above; in the forest,
Rivers, and mountain peak,
Above trees,earth's chest.'

But destiny played it's role,
A pipe's blow-and nest fell,
To hit the ground from height,
Her heaven dropped into hell .

Her dream- egg was broken,
Nest became a  trash heap,
She was dumb and shocked,
Tried; but she could not weep.

White-washing was going on,
New building shined with proud,
'Heaven's Garden' reflected beauty,
How a dirty nest,there, be allowed ?

She gently touched the wet straw,
Is it so hard to live- to survive?
Human hands are so potent, so cruel?
They may feed,they may deprive?

Fury of mother Nature ends the life,
Eagle targets her from long distance,
Snake tries to trace her innocent eggs,
All around her,death spreads a fence.

She makes the nest with hard labor,
Storm ruins it with vigor,blind force,
One life-one death, balance on beam,
Destiny writes,creature has to endorse.

-Death stretches it's arm in hundred ways,
She took a deep sigh,looked at the sky,
A thin flash of life,called-'the only option,
Death is chasing you ; fly,fly--and FLY.'
