The mighty world at a standstill- Who would’ve thought! With all of us inside, Dead it seems- On the outside. Mankind who 'conquered' the world Now cocooned within himself, Pathetically, Desperately, Hopelessly “Take a moment. Stand back. You’ve been running for too long; Without any end nor beginning. Take a moment, Look around. Human, you’re not alone.” God said. And so they did. Were they fooled by their own eyes? Never before noticed- Just didn’t have the time. But now... The Ivy veins trickling down dewdrops The familiarity of the marching ants The momentous chirp Of the brown-clad sparrow Come; Soothe us to sleep Teach us to be happy Yet be humble- As it succeeds without any screens Nor without any glowing lights But with mere authenticity. A sense of purity With all of inside And our minds so dull. But that's okay, For our hearts are still beating; And that's all that matters.
The Sparrow
I saw him in the morning;I was doing my crosswords then.Folded the newspaper, and I set out to watch. He had made his palace inside the turtle ivy kingdom .Almost finished becoming a home;Waiting for the last straw and peck.
