Birds

Remember when we were young- 
Like Quails on the wing.

Darting smarting all so refined-
We chased rainbows to the end.

Little did we know they lied-
A life forever was implied.

Our eyes now mirror the uncharted-
Melancholy we are for the departed.

We now sit huddled around tables
and reminisce ;

Like awkward Hadedas in lamentable bliss.
