Blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of the night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of the night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free

This song by the Beatles, has always been a favorite of mine. My son sent me a photograph of the sky above Burlington, MA last week. Around the same time they had a tornado in Revere, MA. I used his photo and the lyrics written by Paul McCartney as the inspiration for this painting.
