Little Bird Poem by Valerie Dohren
Little Bird
The sweetest sound I ever heard
So issued from a tiny bird
That all the universe stood still
To listen to his joyful trill.
It seemed that all creation bowed
To see him on that bough, stood proud,
As there he sang a merry song
Enchanting all the morning long.
'Oh little bird with plumage bright
Be there forever in my sight' -
I prayed that he would always stay,
But from that bough... he flew away.
So then a vigil long I kept,
While me and all creation wept,
Until once more he graced the sky -
The world and me no more would cry.
Then out of nowhere came a bolt
That surely caused my breath to halt -
I heard a silence fall around,
Then saw him flutter... to the ground.
The world then grew a darker place
As all the stars burned out in space.
Alas, the little bird was dead -
Tears, I … and all creation … shed.
With a beautiful charm you have written such a beautiful poem, that little bird touched your heart with the sweetest sound so pure in a world that is so flawed. When the little bird died hope for the world died too! !
So sad that the little bird is dead now! The effect you have created is touching and Val, you and nature have a great bond and you are asserting that fact again and again. I am giving a 10 here..
Little bird, be there forever in our sight. We are at a loss without you. A heart-rending poem of great beauty. Thank you.
A beautiful poem indeed about the sweet bird that meets its end. Very well crafted and flow is amazing. Enjoyed.
Wow, what an amazing poem about separation and loss! The little bird enraptured my mind, gave me joy for the moment, and then as with all life it was gone - taken by death itself from your beautiful poem Touched my heart with a joyful sadness, then that too expired. Great poem! 10 - 10's if possible! RoseAnn
Swimming in the sea of separation and sadness yet souring above the stars of significance!
