Song of a Wingless Bird

[Justsomedude]

Somewhere in another time,

I hear a faint and faithful cry -

the song of a wingless bird

singin' "love will never die".

But where has he gone now?

That candle in a hurricane.

The bird singing in the storm -

wings beating against the rain.

And what will he become

when his soul no longer sings?

When he makes a nest of thorns

and fills it up with shiny things.

-

He can't say he'll sing tomorrow -

Tomorrow might never come

And the only awful song

is a song that is never sung.

Dude, good to see you! And with another one of those poems reminiscent of the poems I so enjoy. Glad to see you're still writing them!

I was hoping you were still around. Good to be back. And thanks. I haven't been writing as much, but I'm still writing.
