Closer to the birds than ever

Closer to the birds than ever

She watches them grow feathers that they flutter against the morning sun

Beating the warming rays through song carrying veins

Can they carry her songs to heaven?

Leave them beside the body she left behind

All those years ago when her voice was but a whimper

That silence engulfed

Where there are no songs

Just a restless discontent
