WINTER BIRD
A shadow circulates with the cry of a bird
Which comes down as it gets dark
To complain to the reed
And all that breezes and the sighing stream
Seems to feel it
Was it you below the clouds earlier
With a screech announcing the day
A tune thrown across the sky
Reaching the echo’s breath as your wings
Shaved the clear water
Would Winter's veil be settling in earlier
To bring silence into the nights
Would dawn stay colored
Charming hours be slow as the sun will be
Leaving the flower beds
The frosty wind brings back a presence
With an undeniable familiarity
A far away memory
From a winter bird reaching from afar
Filling the evening sky
