a bird sinks down
through the wind,
unmindful of clouds
to cushion its fall
past the snow-
capped mountains,
passing the time that
seemingly freezes
...and the tree that
was just a speck
from miles above,
is now a giant
to a bird that descends
from the heavens
the gods might as well
have clipped its wings,
unfitting of tendered-
grace, utterly unyielding.
unto the bottomless
dept of the earth
has no sounding of horns,
a winged-god deprived
of love has fallen.
Very metaphorical. You are a fine imagist. Kind regards, Sandra
Nice piece. I could almost feel the wind rushing in my face as I plummet togehter with your winged god. Is it Eros or Icarus?
Wonderful imagery, as if straight from the Greek or the Roman mythology. Loved reading it. Thanks for sharing.
