If I were a bird,423Please respect copyright.PENANA1DyZjFDioK
I would sing with my sweetest voice,423Please respect copyright.PENANAMlczC6wj8W
Spilling melodies into the morning light,423Please respect copyright.PENANARh93deZuHJ
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,423Please respect copyright.PENANAOU07VKyMT7
I would glide across the river,423Please respect copyright.PENANAUflZSVpQ09
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,423Please respect copyright.PENANAgHpnDNCpgn
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,423Please respect copyright.PENANAdTfXYjScXU
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.423Please respect copyright.PENANAoYmLpPXA8A
Whisper secrets to the flowers,423Please respect copyright.PENANAv12Wd2NwJJ
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,423Please respect copyright.PENANAPnrObYzXNA
The water thick with man’s decay.423Please respect copyright.PENANAiHwFT2xIsr
And I would falter, breathless,423Please respect copyright.PENANAuNMIhICocE
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,423Please respect copyright.PENANAU7yDnlEA3Q
No different from any other,423Please respect copyright.PENANACSYJZobpmv
A tiny, nameless thing,423Please respect copyright.PENANAUmTDbzxurT
Swallowed whole—423Please respect copyright.PENANAacBL0gkZac
A life forgotten,423Please respect copyright.PENANAmypIdabj7X
Vanished in the human world.
