171.Sparrows

O ! chirping sparrows,
How busily you chirp?
Keeping aside
All thoughts that trouble,
I peep and glance at you.
Unaware you prance and  move
Singing melodious note
As you complete your chores
In  harmonious company.

O ! tiny bird,
How strong are your wings?
Its flutter raises hope in my heart
I wish to scale the sky and sing
And be just as carefree.
Will you teach me your simplicity?
Will you share with me
How to co exist in peace ?
I can't help but envy
The life that you live.
