Distraught flight

23jan 2021

The moon peeps through the clouds, with a half yawn, half grin on its face, in assured love and happiness emanating all around.. the eagles sail freely, skating the wind, in earnest conversation, begging for a sky-wide search, amidst wails of inconsolable plaint.. diving, soaring, the look-outs rush to help, constantly calling out, threatening, daring, anyone to hinder their way.. a mere spectator, my heart translates in concern, sending up a silent prayer.. the parrots play unconcerned, impervious to this fray.. the eagle screams distraught, almost faint in its flight, frantically returning to the same spot again and again.. even the orange glow of sunshine feels consumed by that call of distress.. these amazons, these titans in the sky, truly mesmerize..
