If I were a bird,444Please respect copyright.PENANA6OtJSE0fnQ
I would sing with my sweetest voice,444Please respect copyright.PENANAqKBK4yPDyp
Spilling melodies into the morning light,444Please respect copyright.PENANAJu0ccJuQG0
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,444Please respect copyright.PENANAMf4299uGR0
I would glide across the river,444Please respect copyright.PENANAp7qZPQp25R
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,444Please respect copyright.PENANAczWLx1ZsvA
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,444Please respect copyright.PENANASiAPzBKotT
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.444Please respect copyright.PENANATRU2n1DalH
Whisper secrets to the flowers,444Please respect copyright.PENANAlW06k72CWS
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,444Please respect copyright.PENANA6ofaLFFeE0
The water thick with man’s decay.444Please respect copyright.PENANASdSrZO5x8P
And I would falter, breathless,444Please respect copyright.PENANAbaVranMs30
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,444Please respect copyright.PENANA4viClgMbWy
No different from any other,444Please respect copyright.PENANAzuUoXRxKCd
A tiny, nameless thing,444Please respect copyright.PENANA4lkfleGxkY
Swallowed whole—444Please respect copyright.PENANATAcYjMUxYg
A life forgotten,444Please respect copyright.PENANA88uzzInjax
Vanished in the human world.
