The Snowbird

Upon my frosty windowsill

A snowbird sings a cheerful

Song

Tugging at my heart

Strings

“He meant no wrong
But

No longer could he
Stay
Happiness he now

Has found

No pills nor drink taint

His lips

His fears and doubts

Escaped

And then from the
Windowsill

Saying goodbye he

flies away
Singing

‘Stephen’s Song’

“Don’t grieve for me my

Unbarred cage has set me
Free”

Here below no longer are his

Footprints in the snow!

In memory of Stephen Nieri
January 3, 1968 – July 7, 2011
