Bolt In The Blue Poem by Amitava Sur
Bolt In The Blue
A snow white crane floating freely with the wind
With her delight and freedom in her wings,
Crossing over the meadows and the green fields
Over the rivers, villages and rows of hills.
It was flying in abundance on her two wide wings
Along with the white clouds moving with grace.
Suddenly the rhythm got broken and hurt
With an arrow In her tender chest stopping her flight.
The innocent bird was falling helplessly with pain
And fell in my lap with it's mission in vain.
Saw it with a pool of blood and the arrow,
Heaving my heart with full of sorrow.
O' my innocent loving bird - you being so nice!
Who is that heartless fellow, arrowed the poor bird?
Attending the poor bird with fullest care
And held it lovingly to remove it's fear.
Put my warm hand over it's shivering body
Caressed her to solace it's pain.
You live in the realm of my love and peace
I'll try to give you back your freedom and the bliss.
O' my innocent bird being so nice!
Who is that heartless fellow, arrowed the poor bird?

Such a beautifully written but heartbreaking poem. There has to be an end to animal cruelty. It is all so unnecessary and something I feel so strongly about. I hope this poem helps to get the message across. Thanks for sharing Amitava!
Amitava, a very moving and heart touching poem, I see your double meaning and appreciate it's depth, such a compassionate man you are. Feeling the freedom of flying high and then being shot down by an arrow, then your amazing compassion taking and holding it so gingerly, trying to ease it's pain. A very beautiful poem with an enlightening message, deeply felt. Thank you Amitava for such a poignant and touching poem. RoseAnn
A very intriguing poem, as it made me wonder if perhaps there was hidden meaning behind the words. Also the mental image you created of the bird flying freely over the land was very impressive. I enjoyed this!
A bolt in the blue is just like a bolt from the blue...........no one knows a sudden and unforeseen event that might fall on us any time any moment ii our life.........just to remain prepared to attend to it sensibly......A great write.......
A poem full of compassion and deep feelings to save the innocent helpless winged friend. Beautiful poem. Thank you.

Arrows may be sped while swimming in the air and soaring into the measureless heights of the sky! If struck, we might flop down to the ground wounded and bleeding..... Everything can be unexpected and that is life! Moving write!
