THE SILVER LINING

Wind blew, clouds flew
Darkness spread but none knew
The void opened and engulfed everything
All that remained was a silent aching...

The bird fluttered, looking about
Desperate to find a way out,
Various plans went in vain
The objective seemed difficult to obtain

But every cloud has a silver lining!

Thinking and blinking, straining hard,
Planning and scheming, staying on guard
An idea struck, changing luck
A daring plan filled with pluck!

Up it soared on and on,
Without second thoughts of what lay beyond
A flutter, a quiver, a flitter and a flap,
Speeding away from the awaiting trap!

Tearing through the dark sky
It flew away from the evil-eye
Thus adversities vanished, the bird escaped
With bravery and courage its fate reshaped

As the first rays of sun spread on its face
Sweet sense of freedom bloomed with grace
It lay down in peace as life ebbed away
Free bird at heart, on its eternal way...
