 A BIRD LOST ITS NEST

The mating season that a pair had chosen,
Swoop from the sky to a branch soon,
Thick foliage, strong trunk, stick loom
Weave miraculously their nest a boon, (1)

They fledged hatched, and chicks chirp,
Fulfilled the tiny lives happiness watch,
Mother bird watchful, and others collect,
A morsel of food to the beak, life direct, (2)

An unfortunate occasion, the sun sinks,
Beyond the horizon and west, sadly linked,
A canopy of darkness, mist, and storms,
The bird lost its track of human life norms (3)

Birds in the nest wait silently but fail,
Miss forever search everywhere, yelled,
No sign of the bird, the chicks fled quickly,
Food is the prime reason found meekly, (4)

The bird lost its nest to discover the tree,
Empty was the nest, an abode test free,
Lacked the energy to be paired for a season,
Spring has left winter in a life with no reason (5)

The fall, dry leaves no trace of flowers,
Fruits were taken away, hope showers,
A million birds, flying in flocks, invited,
Join with them, a ghost of the past, excited, (6)

The mural pertains to broken homes,
Agony of kids' desperation, gruesome,
They wait behind their sweet home,
Father lost his home and never came (7)

Amazing life, kids renew miraculously,
The Lord plays the game mysteriously,
The human mind loses track of a mission,
A bird lost its nest, not a rare omission. (viii)
