Lone Bird

I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof
Psalm 102:7 CSB

lone bird,
wings claustrophobic, abalone-gray
sans dandelion’s glory
surrounded by seeds

I feel like that bird. Some poets are not responding. Persecution mania?

psalms help us make good poetry, Kim as you well know. It teaches us so much, much-needed! I love what Jeanette said about the seeds:)

I love this verse too, it is a poignant sad picture of the flock-less bird. I like how you out seeds in the poem, with all the future promise they hold.

I don’t understand them all either. This one came from the bird I saw today. He was all alone on a fence with his wings tight to his sides. I was then doing my bible study and came across this verse! Hugs
