Wishful
By: Paul Bratter
Standing still, birds sing
Perched under black leaves cold
Harmonious quiet notes ring
Hoping for you to bring
Birds to sing, fall so bold
To make loose. (leaves that cling)
Clear the cold that stings
Melt my dark mold
Remove abhorred dings.
Show the bird sing
Behind eyelids lulled
Destroy what seems to cling
And hide, harmonies ring
Then, clear the cold.
Let the arrow sting
From tight bow string
And perice the mold
That I and you both bring
And lead our lives to cling.
