SHADOW

*********


On the deserted road at night

Stretching till far


Day appears to be short

Due to absolute  involvement in work 

Just like small shadow

Appearing in daytime


It is all matter of time.

Encaged Sparrow

  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
