Desperate to find a place of solitude
my relationship ended.
Thoughts were naughty and crude
even I felt offended.
Needing to stop to clear my head
seeking a rational thread.
The brisk walk took me some distance
and bracing air was good.
Upon the magnificent view I did chance
like a king there stood.
No sounds except birds in the sky above
realising I had lost a love!
Screeches like a human cry made me turn
self-pity crossed my mind.
Saw it was an injured bird I felt concern
answers I needed to find!
Looking majestic even though was hurt
domination it did exert!
From a distance I admired its will power
for other birds to hear.
Listening with emotion hour by hour
desperation sounding clear.
Several birds swooped wanting to assist
this loyalty did persist!
Revitalised I knew it was time to go back
running away the wrong choice.
The bird showed me be positive attack
speak in a strong voice.
Assuming the bird had no chance a surprise
as into the sky it did rise!
Maybe there was a lesson that day I learned
a different person had returned!
My relationship had finished both still immature
but that bird made me grow up for sure.
