Ficlets

Birds long for the sun (Fin)

You traded all your earthly loves for the devious wish in mankind,
for the sea wont obey the silent say
of whispers of a mind.

“I wish, I wish, I could fly where I’m not confinedâ€?
“please, please, don’t deceive me this timeâ€?

Undue your grasp, release your clutch
this final act: your touch.
Relinquish all your earthly binds.
And never care beyond your shine

The flying creatures sing reprieve
to the sun as it sinks in sleep

“please, please, don’t deceive…â€?
as they sink into the deep
