If I were a bird,537Please respect copyright.PENANAT3vOgJSG4T
I would sing with my sweetest voice,537Please respect copyright.PENANAmR42aU6V8b
Spilling melodies into the morning light,537Please respect copyright.PENANAiKowKjk8ZS
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,537Please respect copyright.PENANAAPs5EcOVV6
I would glide across the river,537Please respect copyright.PENANAmdhCLmEkwG
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,537Please respect copyright.PENANAoJGI5K6oIb
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,537Please respect copyright.PENANAJpRTSLZUJn
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.537Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vv8zuuL7I
Whisper secrets to the flowers,537Please respect copyright.PENANAGcYS26tJuh
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,537Please respect copyright.PENANAFQFToM1fIE
The water thick with man’s decay.537Please respect copyright.PENANAEfiFjbIqRo
And I would falter, breathless,537Please respect copyright.PENANAGAGBBWrus1
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,537Please respect copyright.PENANAhtFKSze880
No different from any other,537Please respect copyright.PENANATyqvOLqkNy
A tiny, nameless thing,537Please respect copyright.PENANAr4dILkPsVH
Swallowed whole—537Please respect copyright.PENANAq9uvqSuLFe
A life forgotten,537Please respect copyright.PENANASMEBQdcTKb
Vanished in the human world.
