Birds In Flight Poem by Rajendra Nagdev

Look at the beauty in the sky!
a wide arrow-head piercing wind slowly silently,
flock of birds sailing through space.

It flies...flies...flies
shrinks...shrinks...shrinks
longs to merge into goal
dissolving duality.

Birds in flight
day or night
don't ever halt
don't look back,
a cursory glance
and flight goes on.

History; a garbage dump of time
a heap of withered flowers
embers embedded within,
a deceptive ember will burn beak and wings
and flight to ashes.

Birds never falter in past
birds fly in future.
