Two Caged Birds

It was a beautiful rainy evening
When he bought two caged birds
I was amazed as he was afraid of birds
Yet he bought two priceless lives just to free them
The birds squeaked and were agitated
They might not speak our language
But they knew they were sold

How ironic life can be at times
While they were meant to dare
And claim the sky with their little wings
Those beautiful creatures fluttered aimlessly in the cage 

Having only the other bird and caged walls to claim as their world
I wonder if they even remember what it was
To wander aimlessly in the serene sky

It was almost dark when rain stopped
I slowly opened the cage with caution
The elder bird flew within seconds
But it took a while for the little bird to fly
As if the little bird couldn’t believe
The vast sky that nature beholds was now in her reach

At last the bird flew towards the settling sun

We stood there observing them making their way 

Towards the ever-receding horizon,when he whispered

“Fly so high little bird, where none can find you
Let the sky be your kingdom and
Never let anyone take it from you ever again
So soar high little bird, 

Let the wind take you along beyond human reach….”
