A Bird Story

lonely bird
perched upon the traffic light
green, yellow, red
you wait...
anticipate...
you might, take flight, green light
and with a flap of your two strong wings
you start to soar,
more and more.
lonely bird,
what are you lookng for?
high above the power lines,
past ivy vines,
and gold wind chimes,
you fliy
but why? lonely bird, why?
alone you be,
though i can see,
a vee, of birds like you.
why don't you go,
to join the flow,
and make bird friends out of crows?
and from a mile,
i watch a while,
and smile, at your small speck in the sky.

and i know why, you fly,

and i know why, you sing

i hear your tune,
as you rise high noon,
you have friends, lonely bird
the sun, the stars and the moon

lonely bird, soar more and more,
i hope you find what you're looking for.
