Looking out of the window of Tilla's bedroom,
I can see Guru Nanak Hospital, from my house,
Shining in the morning sun, with greenery all around -
A seed is sown, and it springs to life in words, thus:
The sparrow takes a long undulating flight from here.
Cutting across is a crow, zigzagging;
Meanwhile flies a magpie robin in a different direction
- I recognize by the white patch moving in shiny black -
I hear a couple of crows cawing
At distance, when now a mynah with yellow beak
Flies past below: Ariels, are they?
As much happiness they bring to my world.
While Mumbai or Heathrow airport
Is full of congested aerial traffic,
Here we have graceful traffic
No Air Tower Control or traffic policemen!
