The Disappearing One

The chirping of the sparrows, was music to our ears
Watching you hop around was a joy to children
A memory of the bygone days
Balconies are silent, so are verandahs

Watching you hop around was a joy to children
Stared agape when you peered from behind photoframes
Counting the numerous times you flew carrying hay
Slyly counting eggs in your nest

A sweet memory of bygone days
Your sudden disappearance
Makes me shiver and ponder
Did our cellphones drive you away

Balconies are silent, so are verandahs
Raven’s wings clipped, to escape doom
What can we do to bring you back.
Life isn’t normal without you around…Do comeback
