A Bird In Flight

I'm much better at writing poetry than a story, So I thought this would work.

I met a girl

from a dream

who came to life 

and split the seam

of a heart so scarred

and filled with pain

of love still lost

yet not regained

But god had given

me respite

he sent to me

a bird in flight

delicate, soft, 

and full of grace

I knew my heart

could not keep pace.

Yet years would come

and seasons go

as a broken man

once filled with woe

had lived again

to see the light

of a forgotten world

once filled with fright

but all good things

in time will end

embracing death

as a friend

a bird not destined

for the ground

returned to god

without a sound

A requiem for 

my love I sang

and from the rope

her feet still hang
