Seansons When Poem by Wilfred Mellers

A shadow loomed on my sill so blue
Through my window, my bird flew
Filling my heart with such sadness
Gone sweet bird of happiness

Frantically seeking to call it back
Searching in every corner and ever crack
Sought refuge in other places
Dormant lies now my heart in stasis

My bird no longer sings me love songs
On foreign shore, it now belongs
So desperately I tried
Long through the night I cried

My bird now is set free
Its voice no longer calls me
My head no longer filled with rage
It was I the one that kept it in a cage

True love was all that I had sought
I made mistakes for that's how I was taught
Bleeding heart knows no cure
The love of my life loves me no more

My blue bird one day will rest a new
For that, there is nothing I can do
With flock ling's now domesticated
Offerings forever we are related

Days went now by and by
Recouping I have tried
Lost all but not my footing
On my feet, for I am still standing

Bittersweet sorrows lessons to learn
Burdens filled now it's my turn
Seasons when yellow leafs fell off my tree
Gone forever now so shall it be
