It Came to Rest

It came to Rest
On top the bark
The old tree dead and gone
For high it stood, to look out,
The world and all its good
It came to rest
On top the bark
Its bloody claws undone
Its hands unhinged
the body dropped
resting on the ground
It came to rest
On top the bark
Its wings tucked away
and with every wind that came
To blow it away
It stood its ground and stayed
It came to rest
On top the bark
It beak closed tightly shut
And did not utter a single word
It came to rest
On top the bark
To look out upon the world
In silence it came
In silence it went
And took it all in
