Amelia

Remembering a feathered friend

too soon gone

little rainbow

darting blithe

brilliant blur

friend to friend to friend

song cheerful chirped

unconcerned

such mundane things

as task or test or toil

your bright presence

flit from joy to joy

an instant here

a moment there

undarking gloom

a twinkling in the sun

dancing on the breeze

to touch in curiosity

scintillating light

and in darker deep

sliver gleams as bright

you were such a tiny thing

but oh!

the void behind
