the sound of a cry
the sound of a cry
can be silent
soft footed and yellow
edged
tipytoed, hesitant
twas so
when i found it
exactly this way
and who it belonged to
twas not I to say
it's death throes alive
at least it seemed to be so
it's soft edges grasped
seeming not
to let go
and the birds took it up
in their wide feathered
wings
set it high on the treetops
nestled in leaves
where it stayed and was
silent
was hugged by the breeze
was kissed by a sunlight
and so gently, it eased
it took an age
that was not time
and this is not owt for words
for sometimes a healing
is trees
and is birds
is a thing not quite mortal
in any ways known
and when cry turned to song
well, they brought that cry home
turns out it was mine
and I hadn't quite known
for a cry can be silent
when it cries all alone
