A Finch on a Perch: A Poem

Scott Bauer
A finch on a perch

In a tree

In a storm

Lost and tossed

As its mother mourns

He clings fast

To the tree

In the storm

Blinded by the rain

As his despairs take form

His loss is

Most endearing

Most tempering

Gone be his father

No more can he sing

So upon his shadow,

Does he sit

And weep

As goes the circle

Tonight he will not sleep

But few suns pass

As does the storm

And the rain

He sings of memories

To vanquish the pain
