For Bird

by Maple Tree   Jul 15, 2012


You were meant to shine
upon a morning sun of
elegance, my bird can't
stay broken forever.

The evening of darkness
consumes your mind
with thoughts of burning beds
and hopeless agony.

My child: the bottle is empty,
time to breathe forgiveness,
let your fathers spirit sore
within the trees,
and start living in peace-

    I liked this, thought you described the emotion well in your middle stanza :

    The evening of darkness
    consumes your mind
    with thoughts of burning beds
    and hopeless agony

    - your words create a powerful image and a sense of what the pain is like.

    Very touching.
