The Song Bird's Woe
May 18, 2016
Bird Watcher
dull my brilliant colors
free me of my despair
of hearing myself without a song.
The earth all aroung is a cavern
silence haunts my every day
and every drop of a stone
echoes alone in the silence.
I long for the missing aria,
wishing the water to stream my songs
and the mighty wolf to howl
my brilliant call into the night.
Bird Watcher
dull my brilliant colors
free me of my despair
of hearing myself without a song.
