A Yorkshire Poet Poet Dramatic Verse

The Tears of Its Song

This is where I saw the first sight of movement in black skies
I knew with my mind what I could see was so real to my eyes

It held its space in a dark glow of fear
Right here where I stand - it really was that near

You don’t believe me? My falsehoods, my lies?
But I swear on what to me is most dear it could see and it could watch me but through no visible eyes

There you have it, believe it or not.
I know what I saw was no illusion, no dream or no fog.

This is the space where I heard it cry
Painful sorrow sounds the same no matter how deep or how high

It’s burned here on my mind - the face that I saw. A stare with no lies, no evil, no law

A darkness approached me and then it was gone. But it left something with me in the tears of its song.
