If I were a bird,534Please respect copyright.PENANAUA1iFbMXvj
I would sing with my sweetest voice,534Please respect copyright.PENANAZAgxhTOgwO
Spilling melodies into the morning light,534Please respect copyright.PENANAHFKOLcCB5g
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,534Please respect copyright.PENANAdAI2fNEg1p
I would glide across the river,534Please respect copyright.PENANARvX1xqam2T
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,534Please respect copyright.PENANA2Glz2uOnMC
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,534Please respect copyright.PENANAyL2zlnSEMU
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.534Please respect copyright.PENANA6D5328GpqI
Whisper secrets to the flowers,534Please respect copyright.PENANAdSIwQSIEwh
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,534Please respect copyright.PENANADQsVdd65UL
The water thick with man’s decay.534Please respect copyright.PENANAE57ouhkSTP
And I would falter, breathless,534Please respect copyright.PENANAITXuEuOr00
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,534Please respect copyright.PENANAHPAexKoVPQ
No different from any other,534Please respect copyright.PENANAQBEJU2rnVb
A tiny, nameless thing,534Please respect copyright.PENANAlbObntgMPI
Swallowed whole—534Please respect copyright.PENANAVUUAGQxawo
A life forgotten,534Please respect copyright.PENANAfljDKZqLxN
Vanished in the human world.
