That bird....

                               

I can't see them, the birds..
But I can hear their echoes,
Voice filled with melody,
Its causing a rhythmic music...

It comes closer and closer,
And there it is,
What a beautiful creature!!

There it stares at me at a glance
Seems like, it can't blink..

Her eyes has an unread message,
For me? And what can it be?

Was does it wanna say?
I wish I could really read eyes,
And these beautiful eyes,
With no judgment, No complains..

Just an emotion hidden behind
the deepest curtain of thoughts,

What does it mean?
What does it really mean?

I wish I could talk to her,
Maybe by signs or just by eyes to eyes,

I wish I could I could feel its pain
Like human beings, it might also have a sad story,
Because of which, these teary eyes...
Seems like my one friendly talk can make her cry..

I can't sit here like this anymore,
So I went near her.
It was a very short distance between us.

Her eyes were damn watery,
which caused my teary eyes too..

If I talk to her, can she understand?
I don't know, but I think its important.

So I put my fingers over her soft tiny head.
It was like a few seconds, she looked at me,

And then,
the most expected thing, she flew away..
lost somewhere in the vast sky..

And I was left standing alone thinking,
thoughts which can never end.....

Well written poem Annabelle :-) ... I feel your compassion to the 'bird' ( a metaphor only , perhaps ? )

Impressive poem. I was enchanted by the tale of your words. What if we could talk to other creatures? What if...

[Tasfia Islam]

Exactly.... I wish we could, I really wish....

I often think the adage 'free as bird' is a bit of a utopian mirage. Birds have such a hard life that they deserve to be able to soar in the sky. Even up there they have to be constantly aware in case of hunters and birds of prey. I love the way you penned the connection or the feeling of connectedness between subject and bird. Just because it flew away didnt mean that moments were not shared that will last for a lifetime. The bird is a great metaphor for relationships, I feel.
Thank you for sharing this Annabelle. :)
