Dead Bird
While walking I saw the dirty and decomposing remains of a bird, and surprisingly it made me think of a poem
So inspired by a dead bird, but not exactly about one.
————————-Bedraggled angel fallen to earth,
fated to live this mortal curse.Now feeling pain and hurt,
lost and covered in this dirt.Why choose this life?
Why live to die?We do not shed our tears just to proove we cry.
There is loss deep within our eyes, something missing, a thought lost but known, like a memory that has flown.Give me wings and i’ll fly, save me from time and I won’t cry…but take from me the spark, the edge, the dark.
And perhaps i’d choose like you to break the spell and live a short time in pure, in hell.

So good but I’m curious why these days you seriously become a poet lol xD
“Why live to die?”
Now that is a pretty heavy and great question.
Was it a cockatiel? I lost a cockatiel about 15 years ago whilst in high school when my maternal unit left the door open… and out flew Stargazer (my cockatiel). Perhaps he flew across the ocean! I looked for quite some time, never did find the little guy.
Also that was an excellent poem you wrote to memorialize Mr. Birdypants III… which is what I’ve chosen to call him.
@fabolousclown - Thanks
I’m not sure I think i’ve just been reading a lot of other peoples and I tend to absorbe the mood i’m surrounded with.
Plus I like poetry i’d love to be better and Xanga ois a great place to get input and support for creative persuits.
@Cestovatelka - Yea perhaps it’s often only the things we stand to lose that are of greatest value.
@BlindSight22 - Haha You’ve got a good line on birdnames
I love the choice of Stargazer, i’m sorry you lost him.
Lets hope he found somewhere nice to live the rest of his days, in fact depending on lifespan he might still be out there somewhere.
This bird was probably a seagul I would imagine.
I prefer Heaven over Hell anytime.
@bmojsilo - Haha well you can only say that because you’ve had experiance of both
@BFB1131 - true
Such a nice tribute to a sad scene…beautiful…

@CorvyusMorte - Thanks
@under_the_carpet - Thank You! Yes I did
I wanna give you my wings, but I’m one broken winged Butterfly, I can’t fly, what the use…?
@RestlessButterfly - You’re a magic butterfly, they’ll grow back
@BFB1131 - So sweet. Thank you, Bede.
Love this!:)
