WHERE BIRDS FLY

 

WHERE BIRDS FLY

Dark clouds passed, still air radiates,
A setting sun background well indicates,
Permeates peace, quiet pictures enamor,
Homebound birds' silhouette nest allure, (1)

The wings resemble freedom, a wide span,
Circulating in a flock, happiness presides,
Absence of fear of a net cage symbolizes,
The human heart seeks freedom to realize (2)

The sun was at the zenith above in the sky,
Birds soar to altitude, fail to touch, and fly,
Freedom of human life rises, encounter,
Name and fame under time disappear, (3)

Contemplated absence of chain rules,
Free to speak and write, painting tools,
The hues, soaked with emotions, are plenty,
Lack predators' horror tremble scantily, (4)

Hawk eagle with claws, pointed beaks,
Nowhere seen to hunt, return to the peaks,
Society and public life exist in harmony,
Violence, arson, and looting, peace resists, (5)

Humans walk on pavement and in malls,
The mirth mirrors the birds' delight call,
Incessant chirping will be silent soon,
No bird in the sky, in the nest a boon, (6)

Noises of the city at sunset fade quickly,
Cuckoo and nightingale in melancholy,
Transcends magnetic song to forecast,
Assure birds to fly again, a dawn impact, (7)

No boundaries and borders, a life defies,
The sky is the kingdom, and where birds fly,
May the country reflect a rare serenity,
Love and brotherhood mean perpetuity (viii)
