When Birds Were Leaving Poem by Riza Braholli
When Birds Were Leaving
When birds were leaving
On each threshold the sun was praying
Like the last kiss before end run;
You said: Geese reared - in line arraying
On purple wings colored by sun.
- You said they're leaving; you did as well
Right after them on wings of dream.
Little by little on knees I fell
A twilight shadow did dim the gleam.
The sun got cooler on each threshold
It's chilly - I said - we'd better go
It was still autumn, no winter's cold
But from my eyes shed flakes of snow.

- You said they're leaving; you did as well Right after them on wings of dream. Little by little on knees I fell A twilight shadow did dim the gleam. Beautifully crafted!
We start looking at the winter of life when autumn of life starts attacking the grenery of life. Birds come back to their nests after enjoying the adventures of flying that started with the bloomimg of colorful flowers. A beautiful poem.
