Monique Mcdowell Poet Imagism

Searching

Why does the bird sing?
Who does it call 
When it calls
Does it become tired of calling
Silence 
While it stares around 
Black bird 
Above me 
Who do you want to see 
Why do you keep flying 
From tree to tree

When I first saw you 
You were stretched out on an arm
I wonder if you are 
Like me 
Expecting harm
But you fly away 
Fly around 
Fly 
Beautiful Black bird
Where did you go that fast 
I wish I could take you 
To see beauty that will last 

I wish I could fly you over the Earth

Where the world was given birth
I wish we could look 
From a distance 
At what God did from an instance 
Beautiful Black bird
I wish that you could show me 
All that you’ve seen 
But I wonder if you know 
All that it would mean 
The first time I glanced at you 
I knew that you were special

A loud call you gave
Did they hear your call 
Or did they pass you by
I heard your call
But it wasn’t for me 
Beautiful Black Bird 
If I called you 
Would you answer me?
