Bird and the Garden

The night was long;

Seemed endless for the bird.

As it was locked;

In a small cage.

Not to let open; again.



The bird had flown away once

Over the mountain, the valleys

The terrains unexplored…

Crossed the oceans

And flown; relentlessly

Fearlessly; in perfect abandon.


The Timeless at once

Became bound

By time, space the milieu…

The bird had tasted the dew

Fresh and cold…

In a garden so pristine

With colors, scent and mist…


The Timeless journey

Seemed just right

When the journey was tight

Daring with might

The return was slow

And less of a glow

As it only gave

The need to let go.


The journey was long

Though it seemed short

The garden is still pristine

Though through the storm


The flowers turn shy

And their colour turns red

When the Bee keeps humming

The gentle song of life.

  1. What inspiring & gentle writing, Anila!!

    The bird must fly ... or the song of life wont be worthwhile.

    The courageous sounds of flapping wings create a silent sonic boom that shifts the course of destiny -- unaware, perhaps ... but sure to come.

    So fly high and don't ever stop tasting the dew or shy away from taking in the scents of the pristine gardens. It does the sense wonders ... and yes, I imagine it keeps the Bee humming : )

  2. Thank you so much, glimplse, a thought... You had been truly encouraging !

    I see the spirit in your last para ... yes, should taste the dew and not shy away...

    It was just an imagery - of a wandering mind; and a wanton thought.

    Thank you!
