The Voice Of Birds Was No Longer Heard Poem by alan brown

The darkest night he'd ever knew
covered the land with the blackest dew.
The voice of birds was no longer heard
and the animal world lay undisturbed

A crack of lightning lit up the sky
As the sole of man passed on by
The gift of life no longer his
As he'd destroyed his world
in a single blitz.

But after a thousand years went by
the darkness fell out from the sky
As the eye of the world looked on by
A strange looking bird flew on
with a watchful eye.

Its wings were gold and its neck so long
that it looked just like a golden Swan
But this bird was not the gift of man
as before the destruction in the sea it swam.

With Gods own hand it raised its head
from down at the bottom
of the deep seas bed.
He gave it life he gave it song
With a beautiful partner
to carry on.


Life must go one in one form or another
lets just hope we don, t destroy ours.
