A Lonely Bird (Blogophilia 40.6)




In a dream I was a bird
A sad, lonely mourning pigeon
On a flowering gargoyle
Fearing beauty 
All was ugliness to me.

Eyes closed to the light
Only grey I see
Rain off the branches
Running down my back
Every day was just black.


Picture: "One Lonely Bird"  (c) 2012 http://widdendream.deviantart.com/.

Joy is Sorrow's negative
Fears go with dreams. 

That is your lesson for the day.
