The Bird That Dreamed

Bird – is the word, see its wings watch it soar watch it
High in the sky, like my dreams and desires it does
Dip and it dives then goes on and surprises me
As it descends I am left to defend it but
How can I fight something strong and defy known things
Why would I try to stop gravity’s pull on me
My questioning led to fates happening and it
Fell; it just fell – falling star – it just fell then crashed
Shattered fast only movement came from peace then rolled
Floating on hope and despair didn’t share much love
Time took its toll on the life swept away by waves
Deep – it sank – Deep in the
sea can’t retrieve its gone
Far like my dream would’ve taken me but it flied
Now I’m alone and I sleep with the tears I cry
Bird is the word, with clipped wings soars no more – it’s dead
