A Magpie Tale




Look at me,
Am I real?
Where am I?
Why shall you stop by?
.
Come join me,
A Big deal,
No need to be shy,
since we must be reminded our freedom pie.
.
The air is screaming with death,
Please wheel me through this place,
Chair by chair,
until  my rebirth.

The last stanza is chilling...could stand on its own, but works well as a whole, too.

Am I real? Where am I? Questions I've asked myself; at first feeling that I was without help or hope and then like the ending of our poem;

The air is screaming with death,
Please wheel me through this place,
Chair by chair,
until my rebirth.

I found that in spite of the pain and the end of all I thought I needed and wanted; there was only better waiting for me.
Very well done. Blessings!
