If I were a bird,537Please respect copyright.PENANAxc59Rwj0Zk
I would sing with my sweetest voice,537Please respect copyright.PENANAH2CA2HdqRm
Spilling melodies into the morning light,537Please respect copyright.PENANAlODM5CnVgP
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,537Please respect copyright.PENANAL6b6bXjJtD
I would glide across the river,537Please respect copyright.PENANAVMRwsnli37
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,537Please respect copyright.PENANAR7AoTTpqrG
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,537Please respect copyright.PENANAHnoRO5qqPh
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.537Please respect copyright.PENANAcA5C9wwZUv
Whisper secrets to the flowers,537Please respect copyright.PENANA4T1BHg5Hws
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,537Please respect copyright.PENANAm7vg5y40j2
The water thick with man’s decay.537Please respect copyright.PENANAqBkTZaHDsG
And I would falter, breathless,537Please respect copyright.PENANAD1LNegaJCr
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,537Please respect copyright.PENANA8aphKVmCuB
No different from any other,537Please respect copyright.PENANAw136mBeldA
A tiny, nameless thing,537Please respect copyright.PENANASavmkzLuQX
Swallowed whole—537Please respect copyright.PENANAaSpQeIBK00
A life forgotten,537Please respect copyright.PENANA73MC7cSqM6
Vanished in the human world.
