Free like a sparrow

A poem though written in 2009 still it is rather relevant to our pandemic time.

Free like a sparrow

Here am I

free like a sparrow,

well protected

against a dart or an arrow.

No bird of prey

will cloud the sun

above my head,

and so help me

I am very well fed.

I have no complaints

thank God,

my nest

is a fair abode.

It is not a golden

cage though,

but I miss skipping

from bough to bough.
