Laying d' futile doubts aside

 

The mother birdie pleaded

in an eager tone

if you permit,

build a nest in your trunk,

for refuge in d' rainy season

Rains are about to start,

kids need a secured shelter

until learn to fly around and,

not wait for their mother

I've to go in pursuit of food,

fly back, feed them in time

d' hungry young ones

not to cry for food,

to quiet them, my duty prime

To shed her winter coat,

d' deer even is inclined

to gift fur for my nest,

for a soft woolen lining 

 No faltering, shown by d' tree,

in an instant flatly refused

I entertain no such request,

in brief, it did conclude

On d' river bank li'l ahead,

stood one more tree

seemed to be light-hearted,

easy-going and carefree

The startled bird,

in woeful tone appealed

and not being stressed out

d' tree forthwith agreed

It happily built a nest there,

lived with its children

monsoon arrived soon,

and soon it started to rain

In heavy downpour one day,

the water level started to rise

d' trunk of d' 1st tree snapped,

next, it got uprooted,

a surreal surprise  

Infuriated river,

showed no compassion

ruthlessly dragged d' tree,

down towards the ocean

From its cozy nest,

d' bird saw d' tragic scene

d' forlorn tree flowed away,

in river's turbulent stream

Got d' occasion to taunt

you refused me, my family

turned down a paltry favor,

your denial looked so silly

As you sow, so you reap,

had no feeling for my kids

now rightly being punished,

for your coarse, cruel deed 

Softly smiled d' floating tree,

I knew my roots were weak

to defend myself, felt helpless

why put your kids' life at risk

I knew that this monsoon,

if ensues a ceaseless rain

for a feeble tree like me,

it won't be feasible to sustain

might appear strange to you,

but that's the fact, real

never meant that I didn't care,

do pardon me for d' denial 

Got towed away by d' current

while keenly explaining

flowed fast towards d' sea

next moment no more seen

A mere refusal,

for an honest valid reason

not counted as cruelty,

might turn to be a boon

Often it is hard to locate

d' positive facet of one's mind

unless explored minutely,

laying d' futile doubts aside

He began to sob, in d' eyes teardrops

Think of yourself as knowledgeable,

all d' time self-diagnose, self-treat

no wish to surrender as a patient,

for your benefit, it's not a defeat

A doctor, so never go to a doctor,

even if incapacitated and truly sick

underemphasizes your problems,

posture as a usual person, fully fit

 

On d' insistence of the better half,

asked a friend in a medical college

tried as advised but was of no use,

no relief, no add to his knowledge

Talked to a corporate hospital friend,

yet the ailment could not get cured

sad and depressed, his wife urged,

why not consult a veterinary doctor

 

Fully in shock but screamed at her,

going crazy! can anyone suggest so?

It's you having the problem, not me,

d' mess might get settled in one-go

 

You wake up early dawn like a cock,

as a crow taking a half-hearted bath

eat things chaotically as if a monkey

rush to Hosp. as a horse on a warpath

You talk sweetly with your patients,

like one untiring donkey, you work

scream at d' juniors as if a wild bear,

back home, as if a dog fiercely bark

 

You devour dinner like a crocodile,

on bed fall asleep as though a buffalo

your ventures akin to act of creatures,

better can call on a veterinary fellow

Stunningly looked at his lousy wife,

distorting facts, annoying non-stop

Why do u look at me like a dirty owl?

he began to sob, in d' eyes teardrops

You protect in d' most surprising ways

Spotted, an old abandoned house,

and rushed into it in a single breath

crawled into one of d' dark rooms,

to hide, the site seemed to be safe

D' enemy troops gave him a chase,

got parted from his dear comrades

in defeat, to save his life ran fast,

felt alone, exhausted, frustrated

 

Fierce war, with no hope of a win,

not to pursue, a retreat for sure

d' enemy was close behind him,

couldn't keep track of d' others

Got in, felt safe for a little while,

but d' den, once d' troop locate

certainly, be captured and killed,

eagerly awaited his doomed fate

 

My life, in Thou gracious hands,

permit your divine wish to be done

I love and trust you with d' utmost

shield me, my Lord! I am undone

In the dark, crouched in silence,

d' hands folded, eyes full of tear

life at stake, get extinct any time

no one to help, alleviate my fear

 

A spider began to weave a web,

at the entrance door of that room

labile threads layered one by one,

deftly designed to hold d' prey firm

To save me from guns and bullets,

a tiny spider sent as a messenger

I got it, u wished me to die today,

simply rejected my humble prayer

 

Deserted abode, created suspicion,

they wished to thoroughly explore

footsteps moved towards d' hideout

arrived at the entrance door sooner

Halted all of a sudden, a guy stated,

one can't be in d' room, impossible

must break d' spider's web to enter,

an intact net at d' door, not desirable

 

Let's keep moving, was d' decision,

d' foes backed away, moved ahead

the young soldier fell to his knees,

eyes loaded bowed down, prayed

forgive me, Lord, for my lack of faith

nothing is unfeasible if u wish to help

when we face times of real distress,

u protect in d' most surprising ways
