Undulating, I flew through the air
Prattling and absorbing the secrets of the breeze
Contented and in compliance with the treaty of life
Until I stumbled and went head over heels

One fine day it was
While Foraging I heard moans of despair
My soft heart started melting
As I saw a survivor of hawk attack hiding and fighting for breath

For as long as I can remember being in delusion
My alter ego swayed and lingered with me
Together we dwelled building our roost
Singing our hearts out until the daylight waned

There was a nip in the air, overcast sky
As the chilly winds started to blow by
I opened my eyes to see you nowhere
My frantic search led me to now here

I sang for hours and waited for an echo
As Countless dawns and dusks swept by
Then, unforeseen, you flashed like a bolt in the blue
Happily singing with other beaks in your demesne

I don’t have any answer to your caprice
Just to forgive you for being a chimera, let you disappear like you never were
And when I see those little heads rising from my den
I find hope, reason and a carpet of life stretched out to live and love.
