Heavenly Bird #367

Heavenly Bird All day long your cries ring, Like a puppy, to me you cling. This weary body you must leave, In my solitude, let me grieve. Where now does my spirit reside? Without flesh, in skies you glide. Transformed to a bird, so divine, Your wings spread wide, in sunlight dine. Alive and breathing, you soar high, Your empty tomb beneath the sky. To the horizon, your spirit flies, With your heart, in the heavens lies. Cease your visits, let peace find, Before the evening star, unconfined. How can I bear to let you go, Leaving me in this world below? Now a bird of the sky, so bold, Is it time for me to be told? To leave behind this earthly bind, In your flight, my freedom I find.
