Little bird

sorenbarrett

Little bird, painted friend, from your throat a song that floats I know you from long ago
Coming from another life when I was the bird and you were a young wife
I loved you then and I love you now but I will never hold you somehow
Your feathers are too bright and your song too sweet we were never meant to meet
Dreams dissolve in the morning light, all that you left me is a feather from your flight

    This poem shimmers with a quiet, aching beauty; like a memory glimpsed through morning mist. It evokes a love beyond time, tender and unreachable, wrapped in wistfulness and wonder. That final image of the single feather lingers like the echo of a dream, delicate and unforgettable. ๐Ÿชถ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

              Life is fragile and fleeting, just like that bird. Acquaintances we make, some near, some far. The fleeting bird left a feather, as a memory that it flew past. Memories are all that are left with us and for us.

              • sorenbarrett

                Thank you Soman for your words and interpretation. So true it is that in the end memories are all that is left. Good or bad in our mind or that of others they are our epitaph

                    Oh, this tale tells of a lost love. Symbolisms of birds and flight and a feather left. It was sad but tempered in the symbols. It's amazing how a love lost can linger for decades Nice poetry. - Phil A.
