A Graceful Bird Poem by Peacoke Indian
A Graceful Bird
A graceful bird flew from my heart's warm nest,
For years I weaved it with love and gentle care.
It seemed like a fleeting dream, an illusory quest,
Now my heart is left burdened with despair.
It was like a soap bubble, a dream, an Illusion,
the lovely nest become a tomp of memories.
For years thought I had a love so true,
But now I see it was a one-sided flame,
A love that was never meant to be new,
A love that was never meant to be tame.
And so my heart is now a vacant fort,
A lonely place, on a deserted mountain top.
I can say the poem conveys a sense of melancholy and sadness as it describes a love that ultimately didn't last. The theme of of an unrequired love and the pain it can bring and the poet's strong felling for his/her partner that wasn't reciprocated is visible
, And that sometimes we must learn to let go and move onThis can be seen in the lines 'A love that was never meant to be new, A love that was never meant to be tame, ' which suggest that the speaker's partner did not feel the same intensity of love as he/she did
Overall, the poem is a poignant reminder that not all loves are destined to last forever,
The use of metaphors, such as the bird leaving the nest and the heart becoming a tomb of memories, also adds depth to the poem
the vivid imagery used to describe its sentiments e.g. the description of the heart becoming a 'vacant fort' on a 'deserted mountain top, created sense of solitude and isolation.

Ok before I write my opinion about the meaning and other stuff can u tell what do u mean by 'i wave it with love'
Thanks for your appreciation. It should be corrected as follows: I weaved, weaving a nest, meaning I carefully and lovingly built a cozy relationship.
