I Found A Bird
I found a bird
Sleeping by my apartment window
Until it heard
The dancing thoughts in my head.
I found a bird
Staring through the opened glass
Watching, you see,
Suppress the unspoken me.
I found a bird,
Spreading its wings
As if it were saying
To release my inner kings.
I found a bird
Leaving me behind,
Soaring, telling stories
Of a free state of mind.
But you see,
The bird left me,
All alone with my thoughts.
I hide
And squirm
And define my faults.
I do not want the sun shining through,
I shut the window
And stay forever blue.
I found a bird
In a memory far away,
On his wings, on the Lord’s day,
Sleeping by my apartment window.
