The Bird Who Never Gave Up

It is all a magic show, an illusion, the play of appearances,  wrathful or peaceful, pain, pleasure, all is the same 

Then the joker speaks, and everyone weeps

Backward, death, old age, sickness, birth, over and over goes the magic show

No one understands the riddler who cries, tears form a pool, children play until youth exhausted,  on and on it goes, the magic show

The clown and the pied piper leading the children away into the sea of suffering

Only the princess sees through the magic show

Interpretation, meaning, words, projections, all empty as the sky

The lonely bird flies

For him, she always says goodbye

Never seeing his love inside

Which he does not hide

The bird never says goodbye 

The bird does not believe in goodbye, but others do, what to say, the sad bird cries

No one hears the bird.

The lonely bird watches over the chick till she flies from the nest

No one understands, and the bird asks why?

Then the storms come, and the nest trembles

So lonely the bird

No one knows if the bird is happy or sad

No one listens to the bird's song

But it is ok. He never goes away as others pass by. He is not seen

He tries to communicate and love but is misunderstood 

It's ok, says the bird. He can't force someone to love or accepthim

But still, he cries tears. No one sees

But the bird is not angry though others throw stones at him. 

He still loves.

In love is freedom

No one seems to understand, but he never gives up 

Never

The lost birds Melodie blowing in barren trees without leaves 😢 sang this sad, lonely song of love only heard by the moon.
