Two true friends they were. <br />A kite and a sparrow living in a tree. <br />They chit-chatted all day long <br />And forgot the rest of the world. <br />None an nothing could separate them <br /> <br />There came a dark and short man once <br />Who smiled and smiled at the sparrow and <br />Said aloud, 'It can`t be, how is it that you are here now? <br />The sparrow turned pale and looked at his friend, the kite. <br />The little man was looking into a foliage now. <br /> <br />Two true friends they were. <br />The kite murmered into the ears of his friend, <br />'Fear not my friend, I shall take you to another tree high and tall <br />And save you from this dark and short brute..come with me'. <br />As they flew off unto a far away tree, the'brute'down still smiled. <br /> <br />Two true friends they were. <br />The kite made the pal sit on a tall branch and said, <br />'It`s safe here, let me go back and ask that brute who he is? ' <br />The bigger winged beauty flew back to old tree and the'dark brute' <br />And he hovered around both for some time. <br /> <br />The dark and the short man heard the kite speak, <br />'Who are you to speak to my friend and why did you speak such words? ' <br />The smiling 'brute'said, 'Oh bird, I am the god of death and as per my book <br />Thy friend, the sparrow should be on the top of a far off tree <br />And should have been eaten by a huge snake by now, and therefore alone <br />I spoke to your friend words'. <br /> <br />Shocked, the flew back to the tree high and tall, <br />His friend the sparrow was not there on any branch! <br />Down across the shrubs was moving a big python after feasting on the prey. <br />The kite flew off unto the skies infinite next. <br />He and his late friends were two true friends.<br /><br />M.D Dinesh Nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-about-two-friends-3/
