I never thought that I would see,
A bird alighted in a tree,
Still on one leg it stands alone,
Though winter chills it to the bone.
No feathers fall from frozen wing,
No songs the lonely bird will sing,
But what procrastination brings,
Will be seen tomorrow.
A feather falls down in decay,
Some people pass but they dont say,
A word to ease this passing soul,
Although I am not in control,
I really wish they wouldnt say,
How beautiful a winters day!
When a lifeless bunch of feathers lay
Upon the soiled ground.
A little hole beneath the snow,
Forevermore here lies the crow,
A victim of winters icy heart,
Both life and death have played their part,
Consideration does not cost much,
Yet Im the only one to touch,
The bird whose life was not worth much (to others),
And bury it in the cold.
That night I lay in broken sleep,
Into which the shadows creep,
They formed small feathers in my mind,
Falling forever, trapped in time,
While black birds turned the skies to night,
Only broken by birds of white,
And through my window shone the light,
Of the morning sun.
Today I a mere passer by,
See feathers falling from the sky,
Both dark and dull the feathers spread,
As winter rears its ugly head,
With yesterdays depressing scene,
All of the other birds seem keen,
To fly to where the sun will gleam,
And winter lives no more.
But there are birds that stay around,
When winter comes they hold their ground,
The birds whose songs will bring delight,
They sing all day but not at night,
The chickadees, cardinals, catbirds too,
The Jays that wear the purest blue,
Will hop along the snow thats new,
To get to the seeds near my birdfeeder.
Though winters heartless spell is cast,
I only hope that they will last,
That they find shelter from the cold
That the ground beneath is never soiled,
With feathers that are both dull and bright,
A soulless body in the dead of night,
Shining scarlet in broad daylight,
No life is ever worthless.
