A New Life Poem by Nidhi Agrawal

A small bird nest hidden from view
A breath of life budding anew
A soft cooing breaking the dawn
But my heart feels sad, forlorn.
The tiny ray of hope that I missed
My bundle of joy gone amiss
The sweet face lives on in memory
The spark of love that I witnessed.
I care for none that is my own
With silent tears I keep living alone
Now only in dreams I caress them
Those eyes and lips and smiles
Waiting restlessly the whole day
To meet them again at night.
But I can't help but watch in delight
The brave little creature with
Fluttering wings tries to fly high.
Invoking in me a tinge of regret
For having so easily given up
But also renewing a spirit of love
And hope for the years still to come.
