Trust

A young bird was flying up in the sky

not too low,not too high.

His wings were not yet mighty

so he had in is mind a little anxiety.

"Fly high,Fly high",said the tree

with great amiability;

"If I fall during flying high

I will die and my mom will cry",chanted the bird.

"Don't you worry my friend,"said the tree,

"I'll hold you in my lap of soft leaves."

The bird flew high for he trusted the tree.

Now the bird was flying up in the sky

not low,but a little high.

"Fly high,Fly high",said the air

and that too with great care. 

"If I fall during flying high

I will die and my mom will cry",chanted the bird.

"Don't you worry my friend,"said the air.

"Even if you fall,I'll float you

gently down the earth

so that you'll get least hurt."

Trusting the air

the bird flew high,very high.

"Fly high,Fly high,"said the cloud

with a voice clear and loud.

"I am already at a great height,dear

and if I rise high I'll die and my mom'll cry",chanted the bird.

"Don't you worry my friend,"answered the cloud,

"I'll hold you before you fall."

Trusting his friend,the bird soared high,

singing & dancing at such a brave try."

But after sometime,he did fall

but he was not so frightened

for he was sure

that his friends will extend their hand.

But the cloud didn't hold him

so he cried for air

but it didn't float him and

this sank him to despair.

He cried for tree too desperately

but he too wounded him with his pointed branches mercilessly.

"Alas I trusted them

who were never my friends,"

sighed the young bird

and then he died

and his mom did cry.

Very good write! Trust when not vested wisely, can expend our life! It's wise to trust our instincts and account our capabilities first before we take any risks. Though the bird was thrilled by the flattery offered by the majestic forces of nature, it had none by its side when it had to actually face the hurdles. Unexpected ending, but a good lesson!

If a bird had trust in him rather than everyone it wouldnt have fallen... Trust kills if put on others.... good poem with a sad end.....good work....
