A little girl 

called his name

for the quiet bird

that rarely came


his wings and feathers made of gold

he sung a song that removed the cold

his words could give you warmth and light

his notes could get you through the night


the little girl wanted nothing more

than for her will to live to raise from poor

she wished for the bird to sing her to sleep

his song wouldn't let the nightmares creep


A Quiet Bird

he soared far and wide

he was the only savior to the night

but he rarely even sung a note

his words were hidden in his golden coat


The quiet bird

was her greatest wish

because only with his melody's kiss

would she find her peaceful bliss


The little girl saw his golden sheer

a symbol to know that he was near

but she never heard a single sound

and so she sunk to the ground


"Quiet Bird

sing me a song

of daylilies

and gentle ponds


Quiet Bird

sing me a song

that makes the nights 

not so long"


and the quiet bird began to sing

morning light he would bring

to the darkest days filled with despair

the quiet bird brings light to air
