If I were a bird,419Please respect copyright.PENANAAe6N3wx9Sy
I would sing with my sweetest voice,419Please respect copyright.PENANALbX0ZyDM2i
Spilling melodies into the morning light,419Please respect copyright.PENANACct4yo9tpS
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,419Please respect copyright.PENANAHjAhkUGMzi
I would glide across the river,419Please respect copyright.PENANAS3s6hRRi8e
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,419Please respect copyright.PENANA7WyTREZ7R6
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,419Please respect copyright.PENANAguYGgzhSHK
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.419Please respect copyright.PENANArLwSDLZSIr
Whisper secrets to the flowers,419Please respect copyright.PENANAFUppUv9egn
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,419Please respect copyright.PENANAKWEQmaEfc1
The water thick with man’s decay.419Please respect copyright.PENANALPwbkNE20F
And I would falter, breathless,419Please respect copyright.PENANADVhVOIg5Uz
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,419Please respect copyright.PENANA4uSubas74D
No different from any other,419Please respect copyright.PENANAizGQbnqgQI
A tiny, nameless thing,419Please respect copyright.PENANARaIegB5xd0
Swallowed whole—419Please respect copyright.PENANAzcINghgj6K
A life forgotten,419Please respect copyright.PENANAeIYc1HkXFj
Vanished in the human world.
