Their Last Breath

Published January 10, 2014 by Libby

Distant
shots fired
to the skies –
one by one they
Fall.

What
chance do
the birds have?
Frightened and exposed to
All.

Man
is reponsible –
and woman too –
for frightening them to
Death

In
their fear
they reveal themselves –
unaware it’s their last
Breath

Last Rose

Petals
struggling to
survive, but there’s
strength in this delicate
Rose

Leaves
grow old
with gentle acceptance
that they will eventually
fall

Words
swirl around
my head but
none fall onto the
page.
