Notes About The Poem

For contest written October 15, 2025

The Bruised Bird

Feathers black and white 
A floating demise
Relief in the peak of death
And we are left to cry

You now fly in spirit
In a forest full of fruit trees
Light is healing and 
You are no longer hurting

You sing new blue songs
Matching the heavenly skies
And I know you are happy
Though we didn’t say goodbye 

We can say see you later
For we all shall meet the maker
