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.

I feel the plummet in this one Frieda. So much loses its shine before it crashes. I found that picture to be especially sad.

One of those sad facts of life we all deal with at one time or another, thanks Anne, I thought twice about that pic actually, but it was so fitting.
