Red Bird

Yesterdays
I remember the red bird
In the freshness of a summer morning
Hanging over our fence
Supremacy of water lily
And the reflection of sky
In rain water of broken pot
Yesterdays
When clouds cried over my home in tears
I could see the vanishing ancient Gods
In vibration of rain bubbles
Swallowed by thirsty earth
Yesterdays
At the end of each autumn day
I chased the humming bird
To the end of rain bow
And in the shade of willow trees
I listened to whispers of falling leaves
In their journey to grass
And the songs of crickets
In summer nights
To say good night to palm tree
Before my eyes went to sleep
And good morning to sparrows
At the end of a starry night
