If I were a bird,467Please respect copyright.PENANAU2rW8ki9c7
I would sing with my sweetest voice,467Please respect copyright.PENANAAL0btHDH3e
Spilling melodies into the morning light,467Please respect copyright.PENANAe1ZdvFUACl
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,467Please respect copyright.PENANA6PO8UoSqmD
I would glide across the river,467Please respect copyright.PENANA6OSB0QySgd
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,467Please respect copyright.PENANAlRdsVrOsYe
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,467Please respect copyright.PENANAJY2sEV1IHS
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.467Please respect copyright.PENANA3g8tosVg2n
Whisper secrets to the flowers,467Please respect copyright.PENANAMZzkKBkcV1
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,467Please respect copyright.PENANAmcGRYZPvry
The water thick with man’s decay.467Please respect copyright.PENANAnS3rvGKMl0
And I would falter, breathless,467Please respect copyright.PENANAEkXRAefGlA
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,467Please respect copyright.PENANA1yX93lgyAZ
No different from any other,467Please respect copyright.PENANAAKzQEjsZJQ
A tiny, nameless thing,467Please respect copyright.PENANAwVrA7Zw1Ij
Swallowed whole—467Please respect copyright.PENANA1SCM8ji2K7
A life forgotten,467Please respect copyright.PENANApKZ0SojJAT
Vanished in the human world.
