I sit and listen to the bird's dying song,
She knows her time is nigh,
The thorn has pierced her heart,
Her song sad, yet echoing on high.

My heart it echoes her pain,
Though my wound is not visible,
Together we share the throes of death,
The pain not releasable.

Her song still beautiful,
Shows her love and innocence,
As I've tried to show mine,
We struggle now to breathe, yet reminise.

Both know only pain,
But can't understand why,
We both don't want to go,
Don't want to say goodbye.

Some force has linked me to her,
As our lives slowly ebb away,
We sing a new song now,
Free from pain, now only knowing joy this day.

Our song it quietens,
So hard now to hit that note,
Beacons from heaven call to us,
Our souls begin to float.

She takes my hand,
And looks at me, with a smile in her eye,
Together we are at peace now,
Together we will fly.

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

very imaginative Isis...and such a different theme...it's strange that i feel you are sheltered by this bird...

This was great Isis!!! beautiful and touching  

 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time
