Name of Poem:
Shattered Flight: The Cape May Warbler's Window Encounter
Such a calm and peaceful morning,
A Cape May Warbler, lively and energetic,
Dreams flying among the trees,
Its colors are like the glitter of a painted rainbow.
Yet fate took a turn, a wrong flight,
In front of my window glass, a terrible situation,
A moment frozen, time and space merged,
Life and destiny were dancing to the beat of destiny.
Oh, delicate soul, with bright and fine wings,
What thoughts come to your mind in this short line,
Have distant visions enchanted your mind,
As you flew against my window, so merciless?
In the whispers of the wind I heard his story
A story of courage, the will to overcome,
Despite being injured by Pan, the results did not come
His spirit is broken, his fate sealed.
I watched in amazement as he lay there.
A masterpiece of nature, broken and bare,
Her small chest rose and fell, a feeble breath,
Avoiding the grip of darkness and death.
I'm down, sad,
A silent witness to the struggle of life
With trembling hands I comforted Sachi.
A haven of hope for this creature so blue.
In cupped palms, I held the fragile form,
His heart beats like a whisper, the storm recedes,
With each beat, the rhythm of life flows anew,
A testament to the power of both old and true.
I marveled at the colors of its plums,
A tapestry of nature, a living flower,
Emerald green and gold twined in the sunlight,
A symphony of colors in every line.
As the minutes turned into hours, the relationship grew
Between my heart and this winged companion,
By satisfying his need, the relationship was established
A union of souls, a warm bond.
With the touch of the dropper I offered drops of life
An elixir sweet to quench your thirst and strife,
And as he sipped, I felt his confidence embrace me,
Dance of Gratitude, Silent Grace.
Days turned into nights in the outside world.
A tapestry of wonders, so vast,
Yet there was a universe in that room
Two beings are intertwined, the beauty of life is restless.
Gradually strength returned to the weak wings,
His song, a melody that softly sings,
And as it settled on my fingertip,
I felt a truth deeply, an eternal covenant.
Because at this moment,
Man and Rooster, worlds collided,
And though our lives may be different, we are one,
Connected by threads of life that run.
Cape May Warbler, once broken and weak,
Now with excitement, a change of fate,
He faced the window, a challenge turned,
And through his story I learned a lesson.
The currents of life often lead us astray
Against the odds, we sometimes sink,
But within every challenge is an opportunity,
Rising, healing, joining the dance of life.
So let's appreciate each fragile arm,
And let our compassion and kindness spring,
Because in the eyes of every living being
A story alive, a universe untold.
