The Sparrow

They say that He
Sees each small bird,
Though to some that may
Seem absurd.
The sparrow falls,
But no one hears
Its song of Death
And total fear.
A broken wing
That will not heal
A nest of chicks
That have no meal.
The sparrow falls
But no one knows
What it has done
As its heart slows.
It fears the dark
That draws so near
It knows the pain
That comes so clear.
A broken wing
That will not fly,
And there alone
The sparrow dies.
They say that He
Sees each small bird,
And to some that may
Seem quite absurd.
But I still believe,
For I cannot feel
That the sparrow’s
Death was sealed
Without His love,
Without His tears
As the small bird moved
Into light away from its fears.

Hi Draka:hibye:

I haven't had a chance to personally welcome you to the Cafe, so.....a great big WELCOME from me!

That was a very touching poem. Was it your own? I have a strong affinity to sparrows. They don't have bright colours and are almost invisible, but there is a certain "innocence" about them that is endearing.

Keep up the creative flow.
