Poetry by Michael Bechayda

Noiseless Parrot

Poor little birdy

Didn't say a word

Just sitting there silently

I wouldn't have a clue

Didn't eat any food

Only a sip of some water today

This late afternoon

I saw you in so much pain

And I didn't know what to do

I asked around for some answers

And came back and saw you dead

My heart broke in pieces

Feeling I lost a part of me

My day was in darkness

In this quietly and lonely night

Rest In Peace little birdy

Your pain is gone and you are free
