You comfort me with your Tears

You comfort Me with your Tears



"There-there"

"... there-there ..."



almost inaudible

you falter your comfort

with rueful words



but in my neck the sure outcry:

the softer trickle

of your tender

tears

You've return Oh, great Bird
in purple plume through tears
under a rainbow sky.

In Some foreign lands the returning
sight of a bird is a wonderful sign
and a blessed omen.
