bird in darkness

bird in darkness, sings at night

a testament. a sigh.

she warbles for the coming light

but never wants to fly

for she fears a tre'chorus flight

in darkness as it lies

cruel, its haunches pull in tight

it homes in on her cries

yet she evades its clutch's might,

so no matter how it tries

God has given second sight

*and darkness

 

always

 

DIES*

without the ambient light from

our cities or electrical lights

even candles or fire

wouldn't WE fear the dark?

I wrote this after sitting

out on my front porch listening

with great appreciation

to a nightbird
