A Fate Better Than Death (Poem)

Flight of the magpie,
High up in the sky,
Flight of the magpie,
Must we say goodbye?
You cannot run,
You cannot fly,
From your fate,
The end is nigh.
Silver mirrors,
Upon the ground,
A forest of darkness,
But we are not bound.
Oh magpie, fly freely,
Fly through the trees,
Hide from the sun,
Hide with the bees.
A century,
Maybe more,
Until at last,
An oath they swore.
"Dream, fly once more,
Over the shores of your home,
We cannot bound you,
In death, be immortal,
But you shall never rest."
Say goodbye,
To the magpie,
Send him to the land,
Where the living lie.
He hides in the forest,
Can you find him?
He hides in the south,
Will you find him?
Perhaps this is a fate better than death.
