a neglected yearning
orphaned, long before death
concealed in view
obscured to the world
a parting conductor; reflected
an isolated pair
left without...

On the streets,running wild
Fated to share a workhouse cot
Asked for a second helping from the pot-
A life of crime becoming his lot....

The crippled pigeon
Who had the gift of love
Adopted three orphaned
Bunnies; sheltering
Them under her tiny wings
Love was in the air 
With this tiny little dove...

Forget
Forget the cries of the heart.
They fade away in vain.
And the cries for people
forget them too.
They all come with manipulated hearts.
Without knowing it, they are orphaned....

The Songbirds Anthem
So inspiring and with such great admiration 
I marvel at the caged bird as it sings 
I’ve concluded that is how the bird must fly 
Having been orphaned from the use of it’s wings...

Upon a Bed of Petals
Upon a bed of petals,
The orphaned fairy slept,
And friendly woodland creatures
Were silent as they crept,
So careful not to wake her,
Recalling how she’d wept…

two orphaned kittens
     rescued, taken to shelter
          tiny babies thrive --

By Any Other Name
A watch is forever subservient
to time

As each day bows down
to the sun 

Remeasuring infinity
from end to end

Orphaned between
—and left to beguile

There was a wee orphaned lad named Kerplunk
Poor kid wore clothes to school that always stunk
   The principal despaired
   Asked, 'Kerplunk, don't you care?'
Said Plunk: 'What if your new parents were skunks?'...

The Eagle Cries
So much lost…
 so little gained

Prairies in judgment,
our destiny framed

So little gained
for what we lost

Spirits now orphaned
—tomorrow the cost

============================

gentle Wind, as evening gathers,
gathers up the orphaned Leaves,

leaves some tucked in between the Rocks...

rocks some to sleep beneath the Trees...

Bereft And Begone
Like squeezing and gripping
a handful of sand
Your love dropped through
the crevices unrhymed

Defining our feelings
with each orphaned word
Lost in the random
—abandon of time
