Metal Bird
I’m trusting you
Metal Bird
With you, I’ll fly
With you, I will soar high in the clouds
Metal Bird
I have dreams I must fulfill
I have life I need to live
Metal Bird
I have dreams I must fulfill
I have life I need to live
Metal Bird
Take me home
Metal Bird
With wings of great strength
A body so sleek
And eyes, stretched and scratched
Metal Bird
I will sleep with you
With you I will rest
Metal Bird
Be careful
Metal Bird
Watch out!
The angry arrow flies
Metal Bird
If only you had wings of feathers and flesh
You could have flown away
Away from the path of the angry arrow
Metal Bird
You could have taken me home
Metal Bird
I’ll die with you today
Metal Bird
And I’m not the only one
That trusted you
That now rests with you
Oh Metal Bird
Poet's Note: Written February 22, 2020 in honour of Ukrainian flight 752 that was shot down by an Iranian missile on January 8, 2020. Today, at Edmonton City Hall.. people will gather again to remember their family and friends that died that day.
What saddens me is, that this could just have been another tragic news story that came and went, had it not been for one person. So this poem is for my friend Pegah.
