dark bird

i see dark bird
the hue of sorrow
seeking to fly
but always tomorrow

i know dark bird
as eyes meet mine
resting amid
your broken shrine

i feel dark bird
its chains abound
will the keys you need
ever be found

i fear dark bird
as pictures fade
then re-emerge
from blackened shade

i am dark bird
i gaze at the sky
misused wings
cover tears from my eyes

the sun goes down
i drift to sleep
to tired to care
to tired to weep

end
