First Flight Of The Birds Poem by Akhtar Jawad

First Flight Of The Birds

Rating: 4.2


These may be smiles, these may be tears
Both tell the stories of so many years
It's easy to read the story of a smiling face
Weather is pink like a rose with all its grace
Pleasant winds are titillating like a bird in love
A carefree romantic flight of a newlywed dove
Grownup young ones' first outing from the nest
Moment to moment something new and the best
What a time! I swear it's the time of the breathing clay
Day better than the night and night better than the day
Moon looks better than the sun and sun better than moon
Good morning, good evening, good noon and good afternoon
Flowers are dancing and the sun looks like a toy
Simply, one who is smiling is excited in a joy.
Life is lovely; the season is singing the spring song
Everything is finely right and nothing is wrong
Stars twinkling and transmitting some naughty illusions
Night is sharing its experiences with the bird in passions.
Enjoy sweetheart! But life is a blending of smiles and tears
Stand boldly and bravely, no need of uncalled fears,
Sometimes rainfalls are frozen in the hard icicles
But the sun true in love, rises again in regular cycles
Time changes like the seasons so be changed a little
Icicles are melted though at the moment may be brittle
Every season has something nice that can be admired
Need love and understanding when the wings are tired

Mercy Sir Akhtar, this is excellent, it reminds me of fluent Persian poems by Saadi Shirazi, You are fully aware that it is a great art to make it in English. Very Sepas and Dorood. (I suppose you know Persian) .
