Flight Poem by Bharati Nayak

Flight


Wow- - See!

How sublime

Is the view

When a mother bird

Feeds her chicks!


A very ordinary

Yet so tender

Is the sight!


How sweetly sound

Their happiness filled twitters

And joy is overflowing

Their little nest!


One day

The small chick will grow

He will fly away,

Leaving the warmth

Of his mother's lap.


It is nature's rule

So common and so ordinary.

Mother bird works tirelessly

To feed her chicks

And try to teach them

The art of flying.


Now, when

The time comes

For the baby bird

To spread his wing

Getting ready to jump

In to the free sky

Why

Sadness flickers

In mother bird's eyes?


Be happy

O' Mother bird

Let your chick be free

Let him spread his wing

And map his own sky!

A natural phenomena common with all living beings has so touchingly been put to a p...oem. Though all creatures have a sentimental attitude towards such separation we human beings brood over the sorrow caused by it.......10

This is really a great sight to see mother bird feeding her chicks till they get wings and fly away to explore the sky and all things beautiful. Once the mother bird was a chick too and must have felt to see the world. Your imagination goes beyond the sky while composing this sweet and meaningful poem. Loved it. like to read it again and again.

A very beautiful truth, painful too! The baby bird will one day leave its nest and its parents, when wings sprout and it masters the art of flying. It is the rule of Nature! The nest that has been resonant with its twittering will be silent. The mother bird feels it, but should be happy that the birdie is now free to conquer the uncharted skies....! A lovely simple poem! A sure 10

When the birds learn to stand on their feet firmly and flap their wings with confidence, they take off to explore the skies. Mothers protect them till they are strong enough to fly. That is the way of the world. A beautiful poem dear Poetess Bharati........10
