The Grievances of a Bird~ By Prajitha Ooramkumrath

In the nest of sorrow and misery,
Resting in the palms of a sacred tree safely,
Feeling the warmth of affection motherly,
Stretched it's wings featherly,
The gorgeous lady bird "Naveili."

In every quantum of air she breathed,
In every drop of water she gulpped,
In every detail her visionary eyes seeked,
In every tone her chirping reverberated,
Lay hidden the purpose of her true being,
To paint the vast blue with her colorful wing,
To explore the height of limitless sky-ring.

Dreaming a dream virtual though,
Affirming the belief made her grow,
Outcasted from the family of flightless siblings,
The wounded soul embraced earthly sufferings,
Chopping off the wings of aerial voyage,
Waiting for the mercy of an angelic sage,
To get freed from the dreadful bondage.....
