Flight of the wingless bird

Image
Gently opening the eyes To the world great and wide Tall trees all around Beauty and life abound Wonder did the baby parrot The feel of the soaring skies Beat, it would it's tiny little wings Dreamy of the time it would conquer the sky like kings Grew the baby parrot handsome and tall But the wings were arrogantly small Flap and Flap it did Run, jump and hop maximum it did skid Shattered were the dreams Lost were the reasons to live it seems Ashamed it retreated deeper into the forest Hide away from other birds mocking and to rest The skies above lay unconquered Leaping from tree canopy now was absurd Little did the parrot know It's birth would create ripples far and wide Stories of the bird brought smiles For it was unique precious little species that does not fly Smile and behold the king of forest low For the parrot is Kakapo                                     ...

The best of the schools and higher education institutions failed to educate, all they did manage to create was a literate human out of me but not an educated one.  Out there with Nagarhole National Park as my classroom and nature as my tutor I was ecstatic beyond control. Finally my education had begun. With the early birds diffusing the morning ragas to the gentle strings of filtered sunlight.  Beautiful is the day and and so is the magic of Life!!! Early to the sleepy morning brew Opened the door to the spectacular wonders a few Sunlight gently filtering through the misty haze Sparkling the grass to trees in the majestic dew a blaze Up goes the head of the elegant spotted dear in a fray  Distant croaking adding chorus to the soulful ballet Alarm bell chimes through the air ...
