If I were a bird,437Please respect copyright.PENANAtgrYWKcPhl
I would sing with my sweetest voice,437Please respect copyright.PENANAbaZRMkynfL
Spilling melodies into the morning light,437Please respect copyright.PENANASAMDtV2aXi
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,437Please respect copyright.PENANAAe373ASuIF
I would glide across the river,437Please respect copyright.PENANAvy9r2oq7c1
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,437Please respect copyright.PENANAj1OuvbNjX4
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,437Please respect copyright.PENANA6VCHJmoWAW
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.437Please respect copyright.PENANAx5EHDsQjSP
Whisper secrets to the flowers,437Please respect copyright.PENANA9NetRc4b5E
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,437Please respect copyright.PENANAQFZoF3vspW
The water thick with man’s decay.437Please respect copyright.PENANAz7K4a0cVAC
And I would falter, breathless,437Please respect copyright.PENANA0SOQHfDzM6
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,437Please respect copyright.PENANAolpnCSSkgu
No different from any other,437Please respect copyright.PENANAwxNDuNRPBu
A tiny, nameless thing,437Please respect copyright.PENANAJmdwyI9Aqk
Swallowed whole—437Please respect copyright.PENANA9f2oAbzwWx
A life forgotten,437Please respect copyright.PENANAJjjqsyQzzV
Vanished in the human world.
