The birth of a word

The world of a bird

slides and swirls

under the wings of time

Time flies

Is it time to sing?

The world of the wise

whims and chimes

when the unspeakable hatches

Time lies

Is it time to reason?

Crash

Drew the bird

that crashed into my window

drew it flying

drew it landing

drew it dying

on the porch of life

Like us

Don’t you worry

lonely little cloud

high in the blue

eye of the sky

I know I know

You can’t touch but the wind

and the wind ignores you

it seems

But the sunlight goes through you

like these words

embrace the world

none the less

 

Let it all be

lonely little cloud

passing the heavenly

iris of life

I know I know

You can’t even cry

nor let your pain show

sadly

But hear the love

of the dove below

singing for you

the truth we know

Your pain, like us

will not last
