Analysis of Golden Wings



A bird with golden wings flitted in my backyard
coming out of nowhere fluttering and dancing
amidst the foliage kissing my Jasmine
looking through my half open window
the gusty wind wafted her
drifting her apart from her flock
she pecked, she perched
she poked, she landed on my bed
flying through my bedroom window
reminiscent of my childhood
where a bird nested in my backyard
in a tree I used to swirl around
Such a mother bird it was
she sang with an awakening call
oh! I am a child once again
I fell in love with her at first sight.
I will treasure my bird with golden wings
I slowly and quietly closed my half open window
for ever and ever and ever again.
