Shivering Sparrows

The sun is shining and there are no clouds in the sky.

The ground below has an empty palette of color because the clouds have fallen and turned into a frigid snow that covers everything that used to hold the Sun's Warm Glow. 

Sparrows hold tight to brittle branches and  their fluffy feathers shaking in the breeze. They seem to be homeless and unlucky to be hatched in a world that they have to search for a place to eat, not to mention a warm place to sleep. 

The Sparrows do not tweet because they don't have enough to eat. If they try to sing out a tune the notes freeze and fall to the ground and no one notices that they are around. 

It doesn't seem fair that these tiny feathery friends shiver throughout the day, fight for life at night and some golden feathered  sparrows spend their life at a resort.

 

I guess we are not too different from all the birds that flock together but never get a chance to fly together.
