The Blackbird's Eyes

The still, bracken water holds the black, of the blackbird's eyes- in the pooling depths of darkness, where there is no hint of sun; in the water, it's always night. The soul so wild, within me feels pain, in a blackbird's cry; anguish when away, they fly- to be always thought the dark one, shrouded by so much light. Fly bird, beneath the heavens cold shadows, that drift above you, and warm earth, beneath your flight, Damp is the bosom that birthed you, and better than coming dawn, are the dark pinions of your eyes.
