Little Wren
For whom do you cry little wren?
You spread your wings
All on your own.
Your siblings perished.
Do you know?
Do you sing for me,
And me alone?
I wish I could be you little wren
Been where you’ve been,
Be a small unassuming friend
I want to fly higher than the sky.
Singed wings on our sun’s rays.
Or closer to the coast.
Sinking deep,
Beneath the waves.
I sit here.
Alone in agony
No more freedom
Than gentle Persephone
Listening to your rasping voice
Breaking the silence of this dawn
Never ending obnoxious noise
For whom do you cry little wren?
