If I were a bird


I would waft with the air


To smell the scent of springs


Fly high through a blanket of mist


And high above the clouds


Leaving the Mountains beneath

Oriental Dollarbird, a new species of bird, found in Ghodaghodi


Stretches my eyes to see


How wide is the sky?


Be seated in the Mountain cliff


Wing down spinning to the ground


Meander through deep in the forest


With the trees in a different hue


Flip through the hanging branches


Sing to fill the atmosphere


Dance with shimmering feathers


Shaking the small branches


I would run faster than the river


Soar just above the ocean


See my reflections in the water


See sun sinking in the ocean at dusk


Hover above the surface with a brief touch


And, in the night hides in trees with mosses.
