There are times for Magpies and times for Toucans |
dustybottoms
|
I once asked to dance with a magpie.
|
1 |
While dressed up, they are wonderful creatures;
|
2 |
too bad they only see in black and white.
|
3 |
I cannot show my colors and Roy is again lonesome.
|
4 |
My wings, clipped, would flutter helplessly in a cage.
|
5 |
My squawks for freedom came unanswered for days, weeks, months.
|
6 |
Claws scratched bars, air struggled, my feathers rustled.
|
7 |
Silence broke, like glass shattering during a sermon, preaching blasphemy into the ears of young magpies.
|
8 |
The young toucan, exemplified in the gray sky, was unlike any creature.
|
9 |
The world revolved around her; the sun cried-her beauty unfolded paralleling to none.
|
10 |
Trees bowed down, the Helen of all the land.
|
11 |
She set me free- an arrow of love penetrated deep into my breast.
|
12 |
Rainbows were dull in color, envying her wings, shining in God's glory.
|
13 |
Mother Nature needed her.
|
14 |
The clouds needed her to dance upon them for her remaining days.
|
15 |
The seas and country would not let me have her.
|
16 |
The world would have ended.

I am not 100% pleased, but I need to get this out. I'm kind of in a writing hole. Luckily the hole is only knee deep.
