If I were a bird,391Please respect copyright.PENANAs3pLlkkOtC
I would sing with my sweetest voice,391Please respect copyright.PENANAUxEti1eyVo
Spilling melodies into the morning light,391Please respect copyright.PENANAsGyo6v3RKR
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,391Please respect copyright.PENANA9aN5BsKprz
I would glide across the river,391Please respect copyright.PENANAkofv3UOvtv
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,391Please respect copyright.PENANAoRUNinhyi7
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,391Please respect copyright.PENANAsTmnzGh5Mp
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.391Please respect copyright.PENANAg7rIiH8vHK
Whisper secrets to the flowers,391Please respect copyright.PENANAVgkZLBgI8g
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,391Please respect copyright.PENANAl8eDYpk0vP
The water thick with man’s decay.391Please respect copyright.PENANAuUovPRz8iH
And I would falter, breathless,391Please respect copyright.PENANA8tgqdckFVf
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,391Please respect copyright.PENANAFn0ppqqw8m
No different from any other,391Please respect copyright.PENANA4LKReYf1BI
A tiny, nameless thing,391Please respect copyright.PENANAlJMrWRx38q
Swallowed whole—391Please respect copyright.PENANAq7ZtRd456s
A life forgotten,391Please respect copyright.PENANAvySmnUJe8Y
Vanished in the human world.
