GET-TOGETHERS AND AFTER

Festivals brought all,
flocks together
each wingled its ways with
mates and chicks
to the big nest afar
to meet their old parent mates
spending the twilight
of their lives
under their wings the progenies grew
once,
learnt to prey upon victims
and
mastering everything
got separated
each flew afar
to start own lives,
in the little nests each built
all away at distant trees across
the world.
Festivals brought all together
the big nest till then
silent and gloomy
turned vibrant with life.
Now,
parents, with feathers
withering away
winging out turning difficult
as the days
passed by
once the happiest lot
upon the arrivals
of festivals
and get-togethers
turned indifferent
and detached
proximity of the
progenies making
no difference.
Festivals came and went
festivals still come and go
the big nest
and its occupants
turned remains of
past
thus ending the
get-togethers and celebrations.
