Fleet Poem by Kenneth Muhangi

I saw a bird today,
Perch and fly on a cloud,
The sun stood idly by,
Smiled and let it be,
The evening came not so long after,
And my moment passed me on,
Even when i had dared not to,
My heart had struggled to listen,
When my tears had tried to reason,
My moment had been a short one,
And when finally I was on my way,
And my feet fought to stay grounded,
I waved at the bird,
As it lay on the cloud,
I shan't ever forget,
Nor do I wish to quiver,
At the distance between us now,
But such is life to be honest,
So long then,
Til we are together once more....
