Beauty and the Bird

Out of loneliness
I have fashioned
A bird that does not sing
Save when rare occasions bring
Stark beauty
Then bird and are one and we
Go mad with song and beat our wings
And through Imagination’s eye
We even fancy we can fly
Beyond the skin of things 
Then earth’s 
Sad face comes round again
Reminds us of the cage we’re in
And how start raving mad we’ve been
To think we’re saved by beauty
