A moon <br />the colour of sorrow. <br /> <br />Rain falling <br />like regret. <br /> <br />The memory <br />of your beauty <br /> <br />awakened by <br />the music <br /> <br />tiptoes on moonlit feet <br /> <br />slowly silently <br /> <br />across the lawn. <br /> <br />A cat <br /> <br /> (immune to human emotion) <br /> <br />yawns <br /> <br />silhouetted against <br />an Autumn moon. <br /> <br />He listens <br />to our human words <br /> <br />more out of boredom <br />than anything else <br /> <br />as if we were characters <br />in a play <br /> <br />enacting words that will be <br />forever spoken: <br /> <br />“Let us be sharing wing birds <br /> <br />...the thing of legend... <br /> <br />with only one eye <br />only one wing <br /> <br />only by sharing wings <br />can we fly! ” <br /> <br />Chiselled into <br />a night gone by <br /> <br />the words remain <br />engraved upon the air. <br /> <br />The cat wonders <br />how do humans do that <br /> <br />...& why? <br /> <br />He pads quietly <br />through the words <br /> <br />the memory of us <br />bristling his fur.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sharing-wing-birds/
