Silence reigns
over a once-cheery plain
except for a little bird
who persists in keeping
himself here in spite of
an emptiness which spans
below him like a deep chasm.

He is aware of the silence,
and dreading it, sets forth
his song to an uneasy
audience in a last pleading
wish for his home to be restored.

But times do not come easy
in a desolated land. . . . . . . . . . . .as far as one can see
in a lifetime, and for
the lonely bird such changes
can take such a long time indeed.
