Another Poem About Despair

I saw a songbird sing Joyful she was with her song of hope No tears in her eyes Just the sunshine and the baby blue skies I heard her sing her song of admiration Her song filled with the sweet sounds of incarceration A songbird shackled by her freedom Behind her sweet voice she’s battling with her demon Oh! I heard a song bird sing happily in her cage. I saw a flightless bird soar He was kissed by an angel and begged for more Filled with despair because he left her behind An angel like that he believed he wouldn’t find His mind racing… pacing Fearful because he could feel his memories erasing Lost in the land of eternal isolations Excluded from the people of his nation As he looked down, frozen Cold his body lies without motion Oh the beauty of see a flightless bird soar.

Hi Thomas, I enjoyed this poem and your use of imagery. Please clarify the second paragraph for me. I didn't understand if you meant angel instead of angle? Please clarify. Keep writing. Nancy
