Zo]vXn 2022
Days passed on at a faster pace
and the two-legged creature kept marching as usual.
They fed us at times.
They chased us at times.
They even caged a few of us and enjoyed all these with smile so subtle.
Then came a day when they did not venture to stroll.
They hid themselves in their cage and looked with complete dismay
They covered their faces by a cloth as light as my feather
And walked around far from each other.
The ones that shook their wings forever have forgot to smile by the day.
The long-towered buildings ceased to open
The smell of incense and the sound of bells have bleakened
The place seems to dawn a face so weakened.
The hallways filled with laughter and joy
Have been emptied and cry aloud in despair.
The road that were filled with pairs of those creatures
throw at us a sound of despair.
The rooms that were for the little ones
Surely have lost its glare.
They surely might have done some wrong because
They cover their faces in shame.
They forever proved they were hard to tame.
Alas! Alas! What do I see ?
The mighty creature is buried in great numbers.
Not accompained by wailing.
And not followed by the big bells ringing.
Have they broken their wings?
or have they pulled themselves into this eternal slumber?
They seem to be taking a flight so fearful
The fear of falling, the fear of choking and the fear of dying
engulfs them as well.
The very sight of their fellow falling by their side.
threatens them as a shattering spell.
Fear not thou, O mighty creature.
Let not your heart be grieved at this hour.
Even this shall pass, and the cries shall end.
To even greater heights, you shall ascend.
For even the petals close itself before blossoming into a beautiful flower.
The flight that you take right now
Might terrify your hearts to succumb
But remember, Life shall begin when fear aborts.
Hope shall begin and faith shall escort.
Every flight will have fall and every crest will have a trough
That makes our fearless hearts to say, "WE SHALL OVERCOME’'.
