A Nest in the Alps
Advaith Menon 2012 (Kerala)
In a poppy field lay a bird’s nest,
Which is the world’s best,
Which is Mother Nature’s sudden test,
To build a nest which is a quest,
To build a nest on a branch’s chest,
To build a nest on an oak so old,
Where the leaves stay afloat,
In the mellow Alp breeze,
Where it pecks at bees,
In the midst of trees.
