Fifth Verse - For the gorgeous guests who've made our terrace their second home


Winged wisdom
I look at the birds and wonder
As they fly across lands far and wide,
Unafraid by lightening or thunder
Light and free over the clouds they glide.

Unmatched in their command of the sky so vast
Swooping down or just hovering at times
Under their piercing gaze, nothing gets past
Whether winter, rainy or sunnier climes.

Twittering and chirping in a language their own
Truly amazing to wake up to a melodious bird song
Conveying myriad messages in many a different tone
Perched high on a tree branch all day long.

Never interfering or coming in the way
Going about their business with tranquil glee
Mimicking any sound like a mockingjay
Holding onto everything they hear and see
 
Not belonging to any one place
Making the world their home
Like vagabonds they traverse
Carrying all the wisdom contained in a tome.

On long routes while migration
To conserve much needed energy
They fly together in unison
In picture perfect synergy.

Like them let us soar ever higher
Using the wind beneath for propulsion
No dream is too big or destination too far
Once our lives gather enough momentum

What a wonderful creation our feathered friends
Always teaching us a thing or two
To have a heart that transcends
Makes the barriers all too few!!
