One Bird and then Three
 
The world is empty and black. 
Lonely and cold, it sprawls ahead. 
I am swallowed in pitch dark.
Alone. 
After some time a quiet gray,
The slightest hint of light,
Differentiates the sky,
And the gentle departure of the night.
A stark contrast gains my eye.
One bird, and then three, 
Four black birds southerly fly. 
Alone again. 
No color still and far from home,
One bird and then three,
Find a love-less existence. 
Not cursed by memory,
Only innocent and honest pain,
Is theirs.
Southward, before the light they fly. 
One bird and then three,
Never as one.
