Flight and Nest


The birds
With white wings and 
Black beaks
Have shown me 
The way.

Flying high in the sky
And soaring above the 
Humiliating towers
Passing, 
Each hurdle.

They say :

O the flying humans 
Rotating and revolving;
Do not try to fly.

When I come to my nest
I see the flying birds
My head up,
And the neck aches.
Painful it is 
To track 
Any motion.

You may fly
But do not think of flying.
Fly, 
Wings open
In reality.

And when you come home 
Look
Trees as trees 
And the moon as the moon.

Homes are for rest
Not to fly.
