Canary


A Poem by Tami Snow


For you I'd sing across the miles

Touch your heart, make you smile

My song a tune of happiness while

Truly longing like that of a child's

A canary only sings when it's lonely


My melody soothing all of your tears

A warbled symphony erasing your fears

Locked in this precious cage for years

Are you really listening, can you hear?

A canary only sings, because he's lonely.


Falsetto hymns flow from my meager form

Easily disguising, just how deeply forlorn

From realizing the truest of love, I'm torn

Heart bleeding harmonies fated to mourn

Canaries only sing tragedies, they're lonely.
