Captive Bird! Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Captive bird!

[“…I keep looking for one more teacher, only to find that fish learn from the water and birds learn from the sky.” (p.275) ”]― Mark Nepo, Facing the Lion, Being the Lion: Finding Inner Courage Where It Lives


Nobody opens
your stainless steel
cage door it seems
and have you ever heard
about the transparent sky?
You can fly in the blue sky
it's very clear and that won't be hurt
even if you hit a cloud by accident.
in the day light you could see the Sun
and in the night round Moon and stars.
I would like to teach you my sweetie
How to move your soft wings slowly
But please do not forget me
When you go up above the sky?
