Like a black cockatoo
That powerful, elusive bird,
You sang out your song
In words I had never heard.
You were larger than life
An unexpected onyx sight,
Bringing me so much peace
As we sat in the evening light.
Alas, like a wild bird
You refused to stay,
I looked for your darkened shape
But you had already flown away.
Secret Thoughts Within

Such a wonderful flow and sound, especially the second stanza. One of those poems that should be read aloud!
