The Bird In The Olive Garden Poem by Ratan Bhattacharjee

Why are you silent like the bird in the
Olive garden where the Hasnuhena flowers
bloom in clusters that hang from the wall
which reaches the blue sky reddened by the
sun bathing in the oval ocean surging
with waves dashing against the shore
filled with golden sands where the boy
holds a cage with a bird in it dreaming of
an olive garden where it sits alone
SILENT IN THE OLIVE GARDEN....
