Riddle

Crimson beats

Against alabaster bars

Bursting

With a life song

Of joy and blue skies

Of grief and thunder

But never flying from the cage

Sings without ceasing

Until death knocks

And with silver key and gentle hand

Removes it from its house

On the cold rocks

Crimson waits

Until

Perhaps

It sings again
