CRYPTIC
Escaped
to nature, spring arrived,
Forgot
for a while, gets older,
Refused
my heart to obey quiet,
Impetus
greenery instills abundantly,
Overwhelmed,
my soul confined long,
Chained
to bedroom corona specter,
Withdraws
quickly, life unshackled,
Lifted
quarantines open hill station,
Flocking
busy humans for vacation,
Family
excited, packing baggage,
Children
anxiously wait for the thrill,
Mountain
road, white clouds, wait,
Green
hills kissing clouds failing,
Like
white swan clusters are sailing,
Gentle,
docile white clouds portray,
No
more thunder-lightning attire,
Magical
moments touch magic wand,
Sparkling
flooding rivers, how docile,
Glistening
sunlight in the morning,
Dazzles
gurgling brooks refracted,
Spectral
hues steal heart surreal,
Vanishing
instantly as if a daydream,
Grazing
cattle in grassy fields lazily,
Actors
of sweet nature wear colors,
Children
wordless at a floral canvas,
Turned
nature bridal crimson look,
Silence,
visible peace, prevails a lot,
Sooths
Tension riddle life cine motion,
Happiness
human heart tastes,
Lapped
nature willingly invites more,
Come
worried soul, let recluse totally,
Disconnect
links of my nest high-rise,
Glass-metal
walls, multistoried lighted,
Shining
floors, mahogany furniture,
Modern
living gadgets if dreamy real,
Drawing
and bedroom dining place,
Kitchen,
bathroom, television stand,
Mini
library, desktop computer,
These
realities have stolen dear life,
Forced
to work, earn money plenty,
Scar
of loan still on payments duly,
Opening
new expenses for dress,
Purchased
brand new car on loan,
Urban
life expenses rise horribly,
I
was sitting with my family at the hotel,
Evening
time on a chair in the garden,
Lost
in thought of my nest triggered,
Surprised
to watch a bird's nest,
Visible
on a tree top near the hotel,
Clearly
saw the tiny bird in the nest,
Hanging
the nest on a branch swing,
A
hole at the bottom, the entrance,
Intricate
weaving by dry straws picked,
The
marvel was unfolded before me,
No
brick, cement, or iron rod is needed,
It
was a bird's home with dry sticks,
Well-balanced
hanging safely in the rain,
Hangs
well in the high wind, lasts long,
Chicks
chirp incessant wait mother,
Life
in a bird's nest is equal to my home,
Shyly
felt my house, I purchased,
Cannot
build by myself depends purely,
Simple
bird has built a marvel,
Where
it learned to weave intricate,
I
find differences between human nests,
Greed
vulgarly decorates my home,
Bird's
nest nature friendly cryptic,
Memorable
an evening, it messaged.
