SONG BIRD By Antoinette Denise Johnson




Song bird!
Displaying unmatched nerve
One voice unloosed, unique style
Bold, controlled, non-conceit
Kept discreet…
Hurled word

Song bird!

Sings with ease
To self-please
Daring true confessions
Staring through mixed blessings
Wings wounded and broken
Words thought, but unspoken

Song bird now sings!
Loudly! Her words ring!



She not only speaks....
Her words REACH!

Of truth!
Truth!
Never anything but…..
Sometimes her words cut,
To the core!

Never giving anything more
Than herself,
Her words

Song bird!
Sings….
Soaring!

Exploring new mended wings!
What elation this brings!

Song bird!
