At your tomb I stand, forlorn and full of despair; our wedding song I murmur, then, I notice a bird nest . . . with chirping, peeping, trilling babies. ______________________ October 14, 2017 Free Verse/Song of Despair Copyright Protected, ID 949641 Written for the contest, Minamalist sponsor, Nett Onclaud Second Place
