If I were a bird,553Please respect copyright.PENANArKwriNzSus
I would sing with my sweetest voice,553Please respect copyright.PENANAbFwJjrsBU9
Spilling melodies into the morning light,553Please respect copyright.PENANAOl2zxAnl5x
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,553Please respect copyright.PENANANdYU7QS6Hc
I would glide across the river,553Please respect copyright.PENANA9UXKmubMFN
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,553Please respect copyright.PENANACkaP2gXBPr
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,553Please respect copyright.PENANAUILMDbOUDr
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.553Please respect copyright.PENANAwL7Sfh7QvJ
Whisper secrets to the flowers,553Please respect copyright.PENANAAfEQ4EmDuB
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,553Please respect copyright.PENANA2zkfSzhm72
The water thick with man’s decay.553Please respect copyright.PENANAQWup5VdFCs
And I would falter, breathless,553Please respect copyright.PENANAN1uBMQbpPu
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,553Please respect copyright.PENANAG5IEEYnbkV
No different from any other,553Please respect copyright.PENANASuZSMczSCn
A tiny, nameless thing,553Please respect copyright.PENANA2SxuSWBiQ5
Swallowed whole—553Please respect copyright.PENANAaQE7dydjZI
A life forgotten,553Please respect copyright.PENANA3bItxh1x0p
Vanished in the human world.
