Serene Reflection

A Bird Flew of me
and I thought
What’s wrong with me???

I tried looking at my reflection
in the mirror of water at my feet
I saw my self, all creased…
I looked old…
What’s wrong with me???

I was confused… lost… almost depressed…
I couldn’t understand… why the bird left me…
I couldn’t accept… that I turned old & creased…
Worry grew… and took me over…
What’s wrong with me???

Then I saw him
with camera in his hand…
He clicked my picture… one… or maybe two…
I thought he would call it “The Old Tree”
Disappointed I thought
What’s wrong with me???

But then, he came back one day
with a print in his hand…
Said to me, “Look my friend… here you are”
And I saw…
A brid flew… but eleven were still there…
My reflection was creased… but it was water that had ripples
And I read the title…

Serene Reflection

He said, “It about how you look at it…”
“Nothing’s wrong with you, friend.”

I clicked this photograph at Thol Lake, 25 km from buzzing city of Ahmedabad. Thol Lake is a Bird Sanctuary. I had been there at 5:30 am before the sun rises, just to get some interesting shots. And finally, when the sun was up, this scene was waiting for me.
