Two Wings of A Bird - poem written & produced by Quddus Mohammed
TWO WINGS OF A BIRD
Rise up, O Dear! rise up on this early
spring morning
Get out of the
dusty attic of mind, we need no silk so fine
Come fly on
with me, breathe scent of the ocean and morning breeze
Live in
harmony with nature, with bees, the timid fireflies
They smile at
you. You smile at them, we are birds
We are two wings of a bird
We came
together a thousand valleys afar
Journeyed the
rough seas, walking till dawn on moonless nights
Amidst
thunder, clouds, squeezing water from clay
Far, and far,
we fly soaring high, we are birds
Feeble body,
aching wings, veins dried
Preened with
pearls and liquid gold
We are two wings of a bird
O Dear! tremble not for tomorrows rain
We have a charming nest and straw to sleep
And enough grain for winter freeze
Hoard not tight seed in greed, we are
birds
Share more wheat with friends and foe
We are two wings of a bird
Let us stop a
while by the tavern light
Breathe pure
nature, chant a song and dance
Fret not for
tomorrow, we are birds
Celebrate the
moment with Midori wine
Calm O Dear!
and the storm will pass
