A Pigeon

 

In early morning on the door of window,

A pigeon would come empty is its beak;

Alike teary eyed child who returns home,

Longing to be greeted with mother’s recipe as treat.

Few millets, no more & the day is spent,

To & fro from one window to next, another;

Betwixt being in transcendence or restlessness,

Spending days nights in alone rather.

Be it incessant rains or the scorching sun,

A sulking night or when full moon burns;

Is it a frog in well or boat ashore,

In either, restricted space it adores.

Would greet who comes, but never let it stay,

Ain't pugnacious it seems, to be the case;

Seasons changed but not its place,

Unfathomable, had it never joined or won the race! :)
