When the new day morning comes alive
And dazzling daylight begins to fill the sky
The birds are fresh, their wings energized
Life is short and they have to make it worthwhile
Time to spread their lore to the world
Their schedule is packed with interesting picks
Like choosing the best grain the farmer has in store
And taking their flight before he wields his stick
At times they might feel self satisfied
At times they too might feel stifled or bored
At times they might just see another being
Who is broken, disheartened, despaired or ignored
And thus their vocal cords work their magic
Weave songs that give almost every emotion room-
The shrillest ones to kill their monotony
The casual tweets when it’s warm and sunny
The sweetest to steal a moment of someone’s gloom
To make him smile, make him happy
The loudest ones on a full stomach or daybreak
The persistent ones to attract their mate
But they save their best for the end of the day
When God again finds the earth in total disarray
They sing for ‘one last chance’, and have it their way
That’s how we survive to see yet another day...
Every night I bid the stars goodbye,
to blow my scars into the blue dye.....
