This Bird Doesn't Sing Anymore

This bird doesn’t sing
This bird doesn’t sing
It doesn’t sing anymore
Its babies have flown off into the night
Out of those who survived
So what am I supposed to do
This house is now a mansion
And there is cold air seeping through
Never before noticed
A trajectory set
Set in stone
To build a new home
And prepare for the winter
And fight off those
Who were after my young
I never questioned anything
I had a sense of purpose
And I sang for survival
For me and my babies
For me and my species
The clock has stopped
At 4: 04
The seasons do not
Change anymore
Better get used to the silence
Yes chirping has turned into silence
Say you will come visit
At least once in a while
