short poem - birds on wire

Birds on wires---beneath grey sky

If you need a line---of hope

meet up ahead--with feathers, wings

And--wild ones.

Bring your broken--brittle--beat

Start singing something new.

Writing prompt: bird on a wire

Song: “bird on a wire” by Aaron Neville

(“Like a bird/free”) song from the movie soundtrack “Bird on a wire” in 1990 with Goldie Hawn. My friend V. And I sang and laughed and joked about the song and it's lyrics, “like a bird…free” …maybe I'll go listen one more time.
