I saw a bird today
it flew below the clouds
i watched as it
cawed and screeched
before hanging my head
in a sigh
sound reaches my ears
but the meaning is
delayed at the security gate
the speed of the verse
aids little in my quest
for truth
you don't have to be alone
to sit and wonder
whether your soul is loved
dearly.
the whispers in quiet evenings
that enchant my frail heart
have brought me to believe
a simple silver lie.
i have become a pitiable
victim of circumstance
yet my soul is the bird
that broke through
the overcast sky
my wings scratch the
procelain blue and white
expanse that confined us to
dream of only flying
and never floating
weightless over eternal seas
of otherworldly awe.
i sigh with the angels
who watch as man
cries out in his desperation
i sigh with the angels.
