The Parrot Poem by C. P. Sharma

While going for morning walk, today
I met a pair of parrots chatting
on the gate-pillar of
a nearby park.
I listened to
their chat
awhile in
unique
style.

One
had come
from Mt. Kailash
after listening to the
Story of Immortality there.
.Afraid of Lord Shiva's chase,
from there he had disappeared.

In soothing tone his counterpart consoled
Now, he was with sweetheart, she told
She would beg his pardon
if Siva comes here,
him from all his
sins steer
clear.

Of love
for each other
I was overwhelmed
Perhaps, my presence
was not welcomed by them
They flew away to another tree
where they felt more comfortable and free.

Tomorrow,
again when I go for a walk
I shall try to have with them a
friendly talk. If the Story ofI immortality
with me he shares I shall share the same
with you bit by bit in its true letter and spirit.
