AVIAN  ANGELS

As the avian angels swerve past me

In dawn’s twilight to shock me with delight

I suffer from a temporary fright ;

But alas ! The grains I scattered on my roof

 Miss their loving , penetrating sight ;

For the flurry of their excited wings scatter

Pearls of misty blinding dreams

That overshadow the Earth

Making them revel as they fly

In thoughts of yester  night

With its dizzy Romantic height--

On  the smooth glade in the jungle

Where their great grand parents danced

With the sweet children of their nocturnal desires

In the halo of thin streaks  of sun light

Streaming in thro’ dense foliage

Awaking the forest to the bliss of dawn’s

Elevating delight.

Look how hastily does the whitish Moon slowly alight

From the steep steps of the sky

To watch, and then dance away with clouds

Into a new sky strewn with petals of roses

Burning all bright !
