I Have Divided My Tears Into Section

I divided my tears into section With each drop, with each snuffle With each tissue: I thread I remembering the good times we shared Yesterday, was your birthday today: it’s my revelation: I have taken another course in my life: unlike the blackbird I once encounter Who were entangled with kite strings high in the branch of a tree his scary beaded eyes, his Okalee frightening sounds His destiny had lies in the hands that set him free I remember standing there for a moment and wondered, what would this bird ever do for me if I set him free however, as we all know God blessed heroes that day I was his hero Today he is my revelation. I never thought of that bird until this morning I suppose he is long gone, Since, the lifespan of a bird is short But, I would always remember that little black bird entangled in the mahogany tree: who taught me the true meaning of empathy ?? ???
