Disconnect'd / death of a mockingbird ~

fell to earth like the death of a mockingbird
claws still left in my heart's discontent
lost its shine before its untimely demise
musings came undone mid-flight
this plight never had a chance to fly
scatter wildflowers on my grave-site
will you kindly please,
here lies the soul of peaceful lyrics   
    sing song's                   
        harmonies 
               disconnect
                     from
                         reality's 
                              rhyme

This is so sad my sweet friend. That feeling of having broken wings when we lose someone very close to us. Watching them fly off makes it so hard to get off the ground at times. Try as we may, our wings refuse to take flight and our heart breaks even more. This was achingly wonderful Frieda. Made my heart slow just a bit.

Had me singing the Beatle’s Blackbird in my head as I read.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Amazing as always Frieda.

Thanks so much Jack, I love that song, it makes me cry every time I listen to it. Carly Simon and James Taylor don't bring tears to my eyes at least. Muchly appreciate your kind words, always.

Such deep sadness in this brief and beautiful piece, Frieda. Losing a loved one clips our own wings...
(((hugs)))

[Frieda P]

Muchly appreciated Rita, thank you.

[Michael G. Smith]

Another piece of your poetic medicine which injects the heart down to its deepest bowels.

[Frieda P]

Wow that one hit me, thanks so much Mike.

Sigh...theres a very deep sorrow in this one hun. The kind that many can relate to...as we've all lost a loved one far too soon. Its hard to think of our own personal mockingbird taking flight while we are left here on the ground. This made my eyes fill...sending you extra luv...xo

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Red, always appreciate your support, just something today triggered a thought...much love xo

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Love the mysterious darkness of this piece that actually shines a bit of hope. A very Poe'esque quality to this fine little poem.

[Frieda P]

Wow, thanks Dale...what a great compliment indeed.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well deserved Moonbeam, after all you wrote it.

[Frieda P]

You know that I know that some days are worse than others... I really wish I wasn't a pond away from you and I could give you the biggest huggles you've ever had. Right now the best I can do is air hugs and send you all my love. This was so sad. You own my tears right now. You never do feel the same after you have lost someone who is so dear to you.

Sending all my huggles and love to you. xoxo

[Frieda P]

I felt that cross the pond peanut, thanks muchly for all your warmth and huggles. xo

My sweet friend, I've not forgotten that this is a painful day...I knew where the title was taking me and I wish I could escape from it with you in tow. But it is a place that none of us can truly access...the best we can hope to do is earn a visitation by willing to take upon our own shoulders the emotional weight of your ethereal reflections. Every word, every image, is a teardrop. My reading of this work is an extension of a hug...xo

[Frieda P]

Steve you always touch my heart with your kind words, thanks so much my sweet friend. xo

[A. Amos]

Sure, just trying to get this Mack truck off my shoulders, thanks Amos.

[Angel]

Oh, Darling...I just wish I could reach through the screen and hug you...

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Angel, I consider myself huggl'd.

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Frieda P]

[Avinash]

Our emotions will always counter the harsh realities of life and our words are only weapon and we all we go down fighting.

[Frieda P]

One can only hope Avinash, thanks for your thoughts.
