On Silver Wings

[yakksoho]

I miss Vaughan because he's gone
Miss myself because I'm missing
There's no beak I should be kissing
___Besides my baby blue's
I'll wait for you a day and maybe
___I'll find you in the sky
You never saw the world so big I
Never got to show you before I had to lose
___You baby flutterbye does the universe get
Bigger as you rise? Does the whole damn thing unscrew
___Baby flutter why and before you say
Goodbye you should have shown me
How to fly before you died one day I'm gonna
___Say goodbye.

Goodbye Ralph Vaughan Williams
19.6.05 - 02.3.06
♥ ♥ ♥ My Best And Dearest Friend ♥ ♥ ♥
Love Forever Rain

That is a beautiful goodbye. I hope that your friend heard it wherever he is.

Thank you
It is hard to say goodbye when you love someone so much
But as I held his wings out I realised he was born to fly and I was not
It is alright to let him go
Sometimes, and maybe if he lets me
Someday I will follow

Wait, this isn't about a bird, is it? Sorry...

Damnit, sorry I ate too much ativan.

so sorry to hear about this, it would appear tho that you just might have seen thr world through his eyes, even if just from time to time.

So sad...

Wow, at first, I thought that this was about a person, because of how heartfelt it is. Must really have been a close pet. My pets were never that good. And what a good name for a pet, too!

Thank you
I named him after RVW because of the song, The Lark Ascending
I feel that this is the song that the universe sings when all the other noises and crashes of life fade away.
It is both the song of life and the song of death.
