Baby Cuckoo Without A Manual     Woke up at dawn   to find a very small baby cuckoo   settled on a sand filled tub   staying still except for   the tiny breathing movement   indicating life in a strange world   Can't fly and no YouTube video to help   hungry and thirsty but no manual on food intake   scared equally of me the troublesome saviour   and the devil of a cat ready to pounce   No handout on the do's and don'ts of   behaviour with strangers and samaritans   Who is taking care of this tiny creature?   Which internal power is sustaining it?   Can I believe in such a power wholeheartedly?   Or will I keep asking for proof till I learn the lesson    after all my external support system is withdrawn?
