Sparrow Without Wings
By: Noah Eaton
11/1/01

I’m a sparrow without wings
Falling from the hands of God
Laying frozen in the pale barley fields
Frosted in ashes of my youth

I’m a sparrow without a love
Convinced I am slowly dying
My future seems so opaque
You say my heart is breaking, but I can’t feel nothing

Because it already is
Because it already is

I’m a sparrow without a voice
I have no friends around to comfort me
The full moon seems so eerie
The stars are frozen all over me

I’m a sparrow crying constantly
All I’ve ever wanted was to fly
I have no white crown, I am but a vassal to imagination
You say my heart is breaking, but I keep on crying

Because it already is
Because it already is

My trumpet of the throat is scratchy
Embers of tears are falling around me
I’m laying scared in a puddle of sorrow
Then the cat comes, tries to swallow me

You say my heart is breaking, but I keep on crying

Because it already is…
Because it already is…
I feel so loveless…

You're no sparrow sweetie, you're a beautiful dove, full of love, with wings that will take you soaring ever higher. And don't you forget that, you big hearted fellow. *hugs*

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Dear Noah....you are the lightest and most uplifting breeze beneath everyone's wings...I hope to return to you the same breeze of love you always send...You soar in our hearts!

Sincerely,
Regina

Please don't feel too lonely.. I am a sparrow too.. and birds of a feather flock together.. and remember God must love Sparrows a whole lot he made so many of them. I think maybe they might be his favorite bird..better than a proud peacock don't you think?  God bless you.

This has a feel of a song about it.

Poetry is an expression of feelings.  I do not write poems, but rather, the poems use me to write themselves.
