I wear a wingless feather
I live in an unclaimed spider web
I belong to a vacant shadow
I walk an abandoned lane
I breathe in chimney smoke
I read broken minds
I fill my stomach with
my leftover fiery strength
I live in a world
which needs me
Because
sometimes I
complete it
A Blind Bird 
Love the way that this poem hints at a force which touches us all, be it silent or loud.

I believe that in one way or another we do indeed complete the world, even if one was to disappear untimely the world wouldn't be the same, it's all the Domino effect.
