Ah,
here we go again
my wayward friends
but for the depths of gloom
newly emerged, from our cocoons
we rise as butterflies, take flight
find flowers and sweet nectars, we taste
and in our haste forget to hold on tight
the wind carries us far away through space
when we upon our broken hearts alight
we find a high place where we rail
against our misfortunes ...place...
feign innocence on why we've failed
to turn our wrongs to right
saved by a whispy dream
which for a promise of heaven
we might for all forsake
for but a kiss of life
somehow,
losing its true meaning *
suddenly
to find we've
been plucked off
by a bird,
good word!
can this get worse
...this bites...
*the lesson lost
we quickly fade from sight
a forlorn tale of love and loss
lost in a fog, dark and alone
wailing, like foghorns in the night
sort of like a grasshopper
...helpless, doomed...
impaled on a thorn
stuck there
by a shrike
