The Bird , The Princess and His Journey
its the story of a bird from a far far faraway land
so beautiful were its feathers, filled with rainbows
so wide the wings spread that it engulfed the sun
when he sang , nature use to dance with blissful joy
but unaware it flew straight into the hunters den
the hunter with a steady hand and skillful precision
shot him down with a single arrow, injured it fell
onto the grovelling earth below writhing in pain
fate it seems had different ideas planned for him
the hunter didnt kill him but saved him by medication
valuing the prized catch, he presented him to the princess
the bird injured and weak yet stunningly beautiful as ever
brought the hunter a wealthy sum as reward for his craft
but the story isnt about the hunter , its the bird's story
the beautiful princess lonely in the vast castle of stone
took good care of him, fed him , medicated him and loved him
he sang to her beautiful melodies and mourned his destiny
injured , he couldnt fly and he sat longing for the skies
the princess grew fonder and fonder of him and loved him
he couldnt help but like the princess , he loved her too.
her love had bounded him in chains he couldnot break
his wings were clipped by his unconditional love for the princess
days passed by and slowly he grew stronger again and deeply in love
he stayed faithful to her and didnt flew away from her
but his melodies grew mournful and heartwrenching ballads
which made the mountains weep and the skies cry in sorrow
pained by his condition the princess asked him of his worries
he answered if not for love i would have flown away a long ago
and if not for love my journey would have completed a long ago
a journey which i began in search of freedom that took me
across continents , across oceans and across the universe
troubled the princess asked him where does his journey end
he smiled and said i wish i knew my love , i really wish !
the princess unable to see him suffer set him free of her love
and requested him in the name of love to return to end his journey
but promise to return to her thereafter she will be waiting
he flew away with tears in his eyes to end his journey
days passed , months passed, and seasons into years
but he didnt return and princess kept waiting for him
the bird was never heard of again in this world
the princess they say died waiting for him to return
but he never returned from his journey that he took on
Ages passed and the story was forgotten by the people
one fine day he returned to that palace laden with gifts
gifts so wonderful and so beautiful that the world had never seen
people were in awe of this wonderful creature and his gifts
but deep inside they were afraid of this bird of prey
he kept singing out for the princess and she never came
but the world had changed, the people didnot know him
in the dark of night, he was captured by the people and caged
in grief and lovelorn he surrendered meekly to his captives
he kept singing out to his princess everyday and every night
a little girl took pity on him and used to give him leftovers
oneday she asked him where he came from and whom was he searching
he told his story and came to know her princess had died
the little girl asked him where did his journey finally end?
he answered my quest for freedom was over the day i fell in love
but i was arrogant and didnot knew , i kept flying across
across the world , across the planets and across the galaxies
everywhere i went i saw beautiful things which reminded
me of the princess waiting for me and i kept as gifts for her
slowly i realised i wasnt free even though i was free
her love still held me captive and my heart belonged to her
so i flew back with speed of time to be with her but too late
the little girl asked him now that she is dead what will he do?
he replied i will end my journey afterall then little princess
he sang her a sweet lullaby ad sent her to peaceful sleep
in the morning the cage was empty the gifts were gone
he was nowhere to be seen and nowhere to be found
he was never heard of ever again but the little girl
she kept saying to all that he found freedom atlast!
