Description
little bird
who once upon my branches stood
where have you gone?
your nest sits empty
beneath the boughs of shady green
that i provided
your song
that echoed in the forest glade
has stilled
black silken wings
conspiracy of a dark marauder
caught your eye
you flew away
trading sweet nectar for carrion
and melodies for raucous cries
but wait ...
in the dusk fraught distance
frail blue amidst the inky plumes
is that you?
torn feathers
your form bedraggled ... soiled ...
can it be?
a shadow at your back pulls quills unnoticed
then casts them spiraling downwards,
flee little bird!
soon the birthright you share with angels
will be stripped from hollowed bones
and you too will fall
fly while wings you have
deep into the reaching limbs of Ash and Oak
your healing promised
return to those whose gifts are truly borne
free offerings, no malice hiding
and live little bird.
live.

Nice, but very sad. I like how the poem goes from light and happy to sad and hopeless, then gives a little ope, and then promptly crushes it. The emotions are clearly visible in it. Also, I like poems about birds^^
