ENCAGED SPARROW ******************** Cage is her only refuge Till now, she had Convinced herself Viewing birds Enjoying free flight Why, mind got confused today The bird in life-long captivation Pleaded for liberation Fowler showed mercy And opened the door of the cage Stretching wings The sparrow endeavoured To fly high in sky But, could she touch Heights of the blues She shuddered Viewing flying eagle Made up her mind To dwell in the cage again. The style of living That she had followed Since so many years Could not release herself From its captivation. Rajni Chhabra Multi-lingual Poetess & Translator
