Before me

As i look on-
the landscape
turns to slate
with a poem written for me
by someone i know.
But the words
don't seem to flow
or pour out one after the other
as a sun beam perhaps would have.

The words are still, as if etched
on to the mountains before me
and on the sky all over me
but i cant seem to read
any of it.

As i stand there
happy and melancholy
lookin forlon at the trees
a bird flies by to me
promising to carry those
words for me.
