A Canary's Song

Allures the mind, a boundless beauty hidden and unseen

So much to do and learn amidst all the lovely green,

A journey to travel with milestones many to cross

Questions many and their answers not an easy toss.

Of the fire, dust and smoke the world is aware

A noble few think ahead and take the step dare,

Oodles odds many in the world, for man to deal

Not far is the day when he will be his own meal.

Of nature’s fury we have not an idea nor any fear

And the jungle melodies we do not want to hear,

Of dodos and the rest we could do the least

Bereft of mater is the man, the supreme beast.

Now we are behind the tigers, their kith and kin in count

Lest we forget our mistakes climbing the ladder surmount,

A tree we hide from an axe, and a rain drop that we save

Can always give a tiny hope for the zoos to reach a cave.

A mother she is, who gives us more than what we deserve

Her gift we know not how with gratitude to preserve

Fortune and prosperity we count in a dollar and a pound

We forgot to remember what goes around comes around.

It is not any late to think and act, and square our outlook

Or wait for the geographies to rest forever in the history book,

Enough we do talk, a difference let start a few

One among the good can be me, she, he and you.

Help not because it makes you different, nor for any need

But for the hunger for the wild in your heart to feed,

Of the maze and the dark everyone is always afraid

Forget not, for strive and sweat God has always paid.

For a purpose in life, on a quest soon embark

Wherever you reach, wish you leave a mark,

The road to your detiny remains far and long

But that is where you definitely belong!

Together all along…This is for you…Your Canary’s Song!!!

Hobbes has this crazy habit of writing poems for Calvin,this is a tiny attempt to keep him going.

And to end…

“You can take the tiger out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the tiger”
