My Feathered Friend Poem by Shihabudheen K J
My Feathered Friend
Once on a midsummer night,
a feathered friend with her broken wings
perched on my right shoulder.
Its queer eyes began sharing agony
being the sacred deity of a distant moor;
languished purple cheek quoted
enchantings of an insane priest;
wanted wings carried gravity of followers
arms and prayers;
swollen lips felt like too much
adored by daily queue feedings!
My incessant care brought her to my lap,
pretended listening to its murmers,
chained it in a silver abode full of status
dressed over to my business!
Rain came, dew invaded and storm plundered
my hillresort!
I returned on a misty eve,
could smell some lifeless
purple-white feathers dancing on the floor.
Our feathered friend was found dead
Deeply moved the human in me,
felt like
'weren't that priest and his blind followers
better than you, MR.naturist?
I opened the cage, alas!
for my surprise, just
under the broken wings of my dead friend,
a dream purple baby bird was seen
adoring its bygone heart,
imitating his great mother bird
full of sacrifice and proven worth;
carrying him over the constraints,
winds and mountains;
waters and fences.
I nursed him on my heart,
narrated avian tales of time!
dedicated my left life to nurture him up.
Not remorse, but
empathy! !
Full of Humanity and love for your feathered friend, which can be any one without wings also! ! ! ! Love it
