Metallic Bird's Nest – Delhi Poetry Slam

Metallic Bird's Nest

By Ishita Mahindroo

"So many flights,
So many destinations
So many footsteps
So many souls
A few going home
A few going back to work
A few coming back from work
From a work tour and trip
A few out with wife and kids
A few for the honeymoon bliss
A few to give exams
A few to unwind after exams
A few to places they seek living
A few to places they seek passion

It is so surprising,
How airport is a small sample size
Of a whole wide vast universe
It is so surprising,
In Airport with such beautiful outsides
People seem to just rush towards their flights
It’s funny how all this seems so alike
Alike to the daily routine and narrow sights
It’s funny how the emotional baggage settles so well
In the suitcase of relationships and failures in life
It’s so funny how all this seem so alike
Alike to our real life.
Real life of you and I."
