Lovebirds

When I found you, you could not fly

Your broken wing burdened your soul

Your cries of despair pierced my heart

Oh, how you longed to soar the skies

 

When you found me, I had no voice

No song to sing, no sound of hope

What is a bird without a song?

A useless shell without a soul

 

You could not fly, I had no voice

We made our nest upon the dirt

Our humble home of joy and love

Though we did long for the tree above

 

And over time, your wing did mend

So, on a branch was our new home

Your morning song did please my soul

Your mended wing warmed our children

 

 

 

And then the day came when they took flight

From our new home atop the tree

They left us alone, just you and I

So, we departed and soared the sky

 

As all other things, it had to end

As you lie here, in your last moment

I will lie with you, as it draws near

And with my last breath, I’ll sing you my song

I enjoyed the poem.
"And then the day came when they took flight
From our new home atop the tree
They left us alone, just you and I
So, we departed and soared the sky"
I liked the story and the love shared. The good description create vision and song. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

That's beautiful Jesse! :) I love that in the last moment he is able to sing her his song... very much an "awww" moment. They accepted each others weaknesses/failings and healed each other. Very touching and lovely.

This one has me sitting here going, "Awwwww".. it is so sweet, simple, and yet incredibly romantic and touching.. I absolutely adore this tale of two lovebirds!.. you have done an excellent job my friend.. from the flawed beginnings to the struggles, to the next journey to the end, they had each other and supported and "mended"... lovely message and expression.
