THE BIRD CRIED

IT JUST RAINED ONE DAY!

It just rained

When a bird in the sky 

Flies as high

Ever wondered why does it do that?

Ever imagined what does it think?

It’s a place

Where the trenches of death,

Are clearly seen from the skyscrapers of life;

Clouds of hope just stop shining when,

Thunderstorms of helplessness prevail;

And the blanket of sadness prevents,

Any ray of happiness;

Its not an easy place to be there

When balancing on a slender rope becomes necessity,

And dying after every day becomes habit,

The first time in years it experienced:

The tears rolling on.

One shower of rain

Its all it takes!

To destroy the castle of glass,

Crafted delicately since years.

It gets drenched in those tears;
And soaked in the sadness;

And flows away with those birds;

Dried in the darkness;

Then all its life it utters to itself,

“It just rained one day”!!
