Who meddled with my inner clocks?


Used to rise, early in morning,
get ready, eager to start d’ day
finish breakfast, lunch, dinner,
dot at time, without any delay
A morning walk, right at six,

after a glass of potable water

all d' varied routine works,

my inner clocks do monitor


D’ tweeting birds, tender sun,

I sincerely love d’ mornings

feel fulfilled, things happen,

  as per my circadian rhythm




Now d’ pattern getting altered,
with alarms also, wake up late
snooze button hit over and over,
wait for something which I hate
Wish a mug of hot coffee in bed,
to make fresh, rouse for d’ day
open torpid eyes, to get a glance
of someone, with the coffee tray
Not enthused for dawn walks,
better postpone it, for evening
Intense acts, hunger, eat more,
weight gain, so avoid the gym
 
Whole day nibble crunchy snacks,
pay no heed for a square meal
hunger hormones got dried up,
apatite withered, for food no zeal
 
Sleep sequence has gone erratic,
as owls, stay awake till late night
immunity aspect dwindled down,
no dreaded ailments, I can fight
Daily life statute, fully upset,
steadily turning incompatible
high time to go for a check,
inner clocks need an overhaul
 
Clocks tic within for everything,
ask heart to beat once a second
wound to heal in a week’s time
in 4 months RBC life span to end
Feel sleepy in time each night,
at 40 presbyopia gets invitation
Sensibly use molecular gears,
put cells on scheduled function
Try to fine tune d’ inner clocks,
reassemble, put them on track
start ticking in a similar fashion,
get things back, d' way I want

a sound sleep’s equally crucial,
as diet and drill to overall health
sleep cycle not allowed to alter
clocks disrupt, with high fat diet
Unable to find the fault factor,
to recoup from mammoth shock
abruptly altered my work format,
who meddled with d' inner clocks?

For baffled birds, a blessed corner



On return trip, in winter ending,
asked my friend, crowned king
“Oh my dear mini Toco Toucan,
you naughty South American”

“ U feel it’s most suitable place,
amazing climate, right address?
At Carrera lake in Chile u stay,
Chilika lake evidently far away”

On earth a lovely destination,
weed covered island Nalbana
to migrating souls, offers feast
palatable worms, lavish seeds

Grass-lined lagoon, just superb
away from city, crowded hubs
captivating ripples, silent water,
a crystalline clarity of a mirror

Cool breeze, charming climate
dazzling dawns, saffron sunsets
bounty of earth's natal splendor
allures migrants ever and ever

Visibly it’s an avian paradise,
arrived here varied species,
safe abode to nest and breed,
 exotic quarry to relish in deed

Wilfully chose d’ distant land,
as untold guest did descend
felt secured, absolutely safe,
truly a pious credible place..

Free to fly in any direction,
any location, no restriction
No limit lines to put a halt
no hassles of visa passport
Ready, steady, go, I started
d’ flying bird flocks I joined,
A long flight brain boggling,
too adventurous, too thrilling

In d’ beach of Pacific ocean,
did zigzags, up and downs
followed d' tides out and in,
with d' shorebirds umpteen

Had no skills of a long trip,
not sure, if able to make it
my 1st episode of migration,
to a far place, fully unknown

Submerged in d’ monsoons,
reappears in the winter soon,
bird hunting rigidly forbidden,
on earth, a real bird heaven

Biting cold, freezing climate,
pursued d' trip with bird mates
followed the file, no deviation
learned the skill of navigation

Made d' delightful trip to north,
admit arduous, but truly worth
God has sculpted such a wonder,
for baffled birds a blessed corner
