Birds keep a weary man awake; <br />the lonesome drone, <br />the repetitive shouts, <br />the fowl screeches at a relentless pace, <br />not even the strongest mind can erase. <br />The tangents of the echo search deep and wide, <br />reverberations like the Himalayan skull. <br /> <br />And in all the while, the nightbird does sing, <br />not for merriment, <br />but in doubt- <br />of secrets it cannot hold, <br />and for love it cannot live without. <br /> <br />The Birds keep a weary man awake; <br /> <br />The Birds.<br /><br />Ben Clark<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birds-keep-a-weary-man-awake/
