In remembrance of a bird

[emma]

Like a bird
Without wings
I am
Grounded
To the earth

Like sad melodies
That sings
Songs of
Forgotten dreams

For the bird couldn’t
Take off
It couldn’t leave
The ground
And the songs will
Keep playing
It’s slow and
Sorrowful sound

The bird carries
This song in its
Heart
Before soon
This wingless bird
Will depart
From its
Lost and
Lonely
Life.

I will carry on, this
Bird’s song
Until the day
That I die
In remembrance
Of the bird
That couldn’t
Fly
