Kyrielle Contest Entry

To Feel the Robin's Song

by Mrs. KT

Write a Kyrielle Contest Winner

<<<~>>>

I’ve never scaled a mountain high,
or shot a pheasant in the sky.
I’ve never raced a distance strong,
but I have felt the robin’s song.

I’ve never sought to dine with kings,
or be adorned with jewels or rings.
I’ve never danced the whole night long,
but I have felt the robin’s song.

I’ve never dreamed to know all men,
or glory seek beyond my ken.
I’ve never yearned to chase the throng,
but I have felt the robin’s song.

I’ve never hoped my days would end,
or wished to lose you as a friend.
At times, I yearned to just belong...
but I have felt the robin’s song.
