To a Bird in Mid-Day poem

To a Bird in Mid-May – Poem

February 11 2020
Bird, English, Loss, Poem, poetry

O wingless bird!

Thou canst not fly, nor sing in thy wakeless sleep

Thy wings perished by long disuse

And all the birds perch on a tree by the dale

Elatedly they tweet and flit in seasonless ecstasy,

And I watch thee in a sullen silence

Of breezeless mornings, and tears unshed.

O noiseless bird! Thou canst not sing anymore,

Yet thy song sings itself in my retentive memory

To thy melody I dance oblivious to all Pain,

And I go insane, for it becomes my empty heart.

Like a lightless star in the sunless blue sky,

Thou canst not shine, nor canst thou be anymore

Thy nest, thy songs, thy beams, thy whisperings,

And all the memories sit heavy on the soul

All suffused with a patch of light, and clouds

Enshrouded in the mystery of the blue yonder.

They all come upon me, in a moment they haunt me

And I long for thee, for thy tweet

I long for thy nonchalant yet reasonable lunacy.

O little bird of mid-May!

Hast thou even seen halcyon days?

Thou canst not hear the birds nor would thou be heard

Thou canst not bear this windless sphere,

Nor can the birds endure thy complete lightness.

O precious bird of mid-May!

Thou hast gone, in the beyond thou dwell

And here I stay in the shadows of thy absence,

I wonder, I wander, I ponder, I whimper with pain

But thou hast gone, in the beyond thou dwell

Farewell, little bird, farewell precious bird.

Author Sara Mehadar.
