Where Do All the Birds Go?
Where do all the birds go?
Autumn brings rain
The birds............
Gone again
Before the winter snow
Where do the birds go?
Leaving me.........
All alone..........
With a leafless tree
Birds, flown
Yet, not me
Where did all the birds go?
Quiet flurry of snow........
They gave no sign.........
They didn't show......
To follow a sun......
The birds.......
The Autumn rain........
Here again..........
The birds...
gone..........
One by one
Where do all the birds go?
I do not know
I have no wings,
to follow........
I sit and wait for Spring
The return of sound........
From the air
Feathered things found........
I missed them so
I do not have wings,
to take me to the sun
They left me..........
One by one
My heart no longer sings
I must wait..........
Until winter is done,
and spring has begun
