To Margherita, birthday poem
----------------------------

I brought a birthday bird.
Though birthday means
changing one cage for another;
I brought the bird to be freed
forever.
And God was meant to bless her
for this act of kindeness.
“So where is it?” she asked me.
I opened my heart.
She could hear the batting wings.

Dear dear Kushal, I am speechless for the emotion. You move me to tears with this precious gift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will forever cherish this unique gem.

I can hear the batting wings, from the vastness of your heart which symbolizes caring and freedom, the echoes resound within my own heart.

In only just a few lines you have touched many significant themes, like freedom, love, transcendence, kindness and beauty. In a way that touches deeply.

(((((Kushal)))))
Much love and hugs.
Margherita
