Beauty
full bird
without
fingers…hands
so elegant so eloquent.
Far too many windows in the world.
Beauty
full human
without
feather light wing
so capable so the masters.
Far too many leaders in this world.
Wanting something to say
particular desires
possessed yearning
…fanciful thoughts
daydreaming sweating to obtain.
Luminosity weak
starving for illusion
erase ones life.
Could admiration be wound in the thread?
Born
empowered to want
Beauty
full people
sadly secure their gravestones
…plots.
Not enough for a monument.

Thanks for entering.

I seriously doubt whether humans will ever get it right. Love the wording of this piece. I especially love the first verse with the bird. I don't think there could ever be any comparison between the two. Mans greed and self gratification will be his downfall. The b\very best in the contest.
