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?
