If I were a bird,552Please respect copyright.PENANAAHubjI8Qgw
I would sing with my sweetest voice,552Please respect copyright.PENANAvoypu4coWL
Spilling melodies into the morning light,552Please respect copyright.PENANATQJ88QBcXo
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,552Please respect copyright.PENANAlq54kCfjEP
I would glide across the river,552Please respect copyright.PENANANvbekYv9yL
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,552Please respect copyright.PENANAnjAHW7LZ85
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,552Please respect copyright.PENANAgRUk1DMkvA
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.552Please respect copyright.PENANAkiGNp7Zyh1
Whisper secrets to the flowers,552Please respect copyright.PENANAladwKb16zu
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,552Please respect copyright.PENANAUAcysvGs25
The water thick with man’s decay.552Please respect copyright.PENANApauIOXN2g8
And I would falter, breathless,552Please respect copyright.PENANAzv8oqGSpaL
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,552Please respect copyright.PENANASw4RkvLMta
No different from any other,552Please respect copyright.PENANA40uvQwVmlg
A tiny, nameless thing,552Please respect copyright.PENANANlfXiFxzCk
Swallowed whole—552Please respect copyright.PENANAiGeOZLNTFI
A life forgotten,552Please respect copyright.PENANAkvGflGj0ke
Vanished in the human world.
