Stay Winter, Stay.

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 4, 2024

By Ravi Ranganathan



Stay winter, stay, the season of love and mild sun

There’s subtle happiness in the cold wind that blows

Birds flutter more, as they enjoy the night that grows

One longer than the other, and nights are so much fun

To form a closer cluster when at last the day is done!

Crows and pigeons begin to enjoy moon’s soft shade

Sparrows don’t bother about morrow, resting on a glade.

Indian Koels are a class apart with their rotund red eyes

Their touch me not coloured feathers are full of guise

Ready to let go to a safer pasture, if not able to fade!

Stay winter, stay, that I may see more such lovely birds

So blessed they are as they revel, whispering glad notes

Storing strength in feathers to counter coming summertime.

And thus I regain that vital spark in my life’s winter times! ...
