Known to be wisest bird of all,
I saw one sitting on a tree so tall,
he looked at me & I looked at him
& then we could hear each other's silent call!
"The more I see,
the more I give my ears,
the more I hear,
the less I used my words,
oh silly woman why can't you try to be like me?
I felt his gnawing eyes yelling out to me!
Seeing me smile he had no other go,
but to calm down and stare at me more!
Thereafter began our conversation,
in complete silence and imperturbation!
As I looked at the night sky,
he understood my question "Why?"
He comes out only at night
and thereafter remains out of sight,
because night is the time when world goes still,
and that's only when you can hear mother earth sing!
Chiding me for staying awake so late
he fluttered his wings but saw me still wait!
Looking again deep into my eyes,
he asked me to love myself as I was!
Flying to a higher branch he said through a hoot,
"the wisdom you are looking for, is very much within you!"
I wondered how the words uttered when the sun is up,
attains new meaning and life when the moon comes up!
Before we parted, he made me promise to believe
that I will be brave as long as I live,
that I am stronger than I appear
and as days pass by I am getting better and better!
