A Feathered Stone

Your love is like a frozen bird, a
feathered stone falling from the sky.
I wish it didn\'t die.
It should be flying, and soaring, and
healing, against the warm blaze of
the afternoon sun--weaving and
diving through the coolness of the clouds.
But it\'s gone, and all it can do is
plummet and take a few more
birds out, on its way down.
