The empty cage...

Jon Nakapalau

Still sits in the corner,
Even after so many years
And now everyone has forgotten,
What kind of bird once sang inside.

    I like this - a tad prophetic

    Thoughtful write Jon.

    She is gone and somewhere, every now and again, a breeze catches my face and her song lingers on.
    Your words inspired me to write this short piece which i shall publish today.

    I really like your poem. I'm a great fan of 'less is more'
    Definitely one to go into my favourites

    So powerful Jon are these few lines. Thanks for posting them.

    How sad is that.. you just gave me a lump in my throat, and I can't get rid...

    • Jon Nakapalau
