Poem : The Song of Birds

~Krisu Chhetri~

A bird always sings the song of light

the song of dawn

against the dark, deep and desolate night

The moon fights against the darkness

the glowworm fights too

While fighting against the night

the stars die out one by one

when the light is still far away

even after the moon and glowworms and stars have died all

the bird sings the song of freedom chirping

it ever sings the songs of light

The bird loves a free, boundless forest

more than a cage of gold

there is no God greater than freedom

for a bird

The bird ever sings against the cage

flapping its wings

ever erecting its comb

it sings against all bondage

the bird ever sings the songs of freedom

The bird feeds itself

The bird weaves the shelter itself

It does everything for its own sake

The bird ever sings the song of karma and novel creation

obstructions may come on the way, however ….

I too wish to fight against the darkness

would like to bang against the bondage

would like to be all free

in the likeness of the bird

would like to sing the song of awareness

truly

I would like to sing the song of bird.
