Mirror Of The Sky

Blackbird upon a wire

Staring down into a mirror of the sky (pond)

Movement beneath the ripples

Darting between the long-grass

Peeking up beneath the waters shadows

To You who watches up above

Compare Your posture to one who grieves

One numbed by too much hurt for too long

Eyes that stare and see

See through and not at all

Wandering but not seeking

Knowing there is nothing left to find

You hear the stranger with your face

Scream futily at the clouds

'You did this!  You KNEW it would happen!'

Now only silence remains...
