maternal...........

maternal.........


trill of bird tuned
with maternal instincts rippled
through the breeze, moved
along, waving its wings
headed towards its
nest, as nestlings
made a subtle and
soft coo, the sound
reached
it's ear as mellifluous
voice - singing lyrical songs, as
if young - calling the mother
to come early as its getting darker,
shivering with chilling weather
coos are getting stronger
as the bird, no where to be seen, near
worried with fear
least they know that the mother
made a halt in the middle
of the way to grab, as
many maggots as she could
to feed them sumptuous meal
reaching them, as soon, spread
its wings, given the warmth
to the young with a cuddle
enjoyed lavish dinner
all cheerfully
with chirping & dancing together.........!
