Literary Corner:Again by Adedeji Tomilola

*AGAIN*

You were falling,
I was the bird that caught you.
Beholding your sight,
You were all shades of goodness
Though your wings were weak.

Weak out of too much flapping
You've been flying without rest.
So I sedated you,
And u took your rest.

By morning,
You were awake.
Standing in your full stature,
Strong and agile,
Ready to fly...
Actually to search for her

Again....

You muttered her name countless times in your sleep.
I understand,
You're an eagle
She is too
I,a sparrow.

For a moment,
I thought you'd stay this time,
When you looked me in the eye.
But off you went,
Never looking back.
Leaving me with a strayed feather,d only thing you ever leave.

Again.
