LIKE BIRDS WE LEAVE …

Even as birds

leaving behind

their nests on trees

and flying away

to a far-off distance

not looking back

on their erstwhile shelters,

humans too

appear in a home

without asking

as kith and kin

and then quit

without notice

bequeathing only

their lifeless bodies

to those that were

their near and dear

for the while

of their brief sojourn!

[From NAALADIYAR (7^th century A.D) rendered into English by Sage TGN]
