Dear Bird

 I heard a bird singing while I was out with my dog, and then again, the same, melancholy song reached out to me as I sat in my room to write. So, I let this poem come onto the paper and thought some of you might fancy it! 

Why do you cry 

Dear bird?

Near my window

And weep so sweetly

I can’t know why

Dear bird

What troubles

Troubles you so deeply?

Take to the sky

Dear bird

And cry a new song

Never again to sing so meekly
