Winged Bird

Winged bird     
Have they cut your wings Songed Bird
     Can you no longer sing Heartbroken bird   
   Has your heart died Then go, enchanted bird,
     Far, far beyond
        the sky Go, pinioned bird,
     where you don’t
          need to fly Beyond the sun
     of Icarus’ demise
          where wings  
              do not melt   
        where eyes      
           do not cry Parachute on winds
     With renewal of wings Again you are singing  
   Again you are strong Only one day,     
Silver voiced bird,    
       will you come            
    back to sing                 
   one silver note                    
    for me?
