 Tears and feathers by Mellilot

Let me fall into tears,
they can be my company,
land in a sea of feathers-
fly away fly away fly away.

I saw you dove like,
now the greasy back of a crow,
flaps lazily away-
And the sun falls down
While the moon looks on
Mourning for the friend it found.

The mother swan despairs.....her youngest gone.

She tried to save her.....the fox was too quick....

She flailed, shreiked, attacked as best she could...

But in the end all that was left was......tears and feathers.
