A sunbird perched softly in the bramble,
awaiting the raven's snaggle-toothed grin.
She sang a song, haphazardly happy,
her naive concerto carried by wind.
She whistled and laughed, until sunset came.
Daylight flickered, an old forgotten flame,
and the blistering ink embraced the nooks.
Still no sign of raven, silence took hook.
But no, she's here, a whisper in shadow.
Amongst the leaves she forms a loving sigh.
"Darling Sunbird, I'm here, it's me," she coos.
In that moment, Sunbird began to cry.

A sunbird perched softly in the bramble,

Still no sign of raven, silence took hook.
But no, she's here, a whisper in shadow.
Amongst the leaves she forms a loving sigh.
