I Sing My Own Song

I sing my own song I sing my own song On the wing Whenever I sing Do you hear The silences between When I say What I cannot And when I hesitate Do you pull words Out of my mouth Do the knots in my thoughts Baffle you When you listen to What I don’t say Why do I feel I must say Something more That I cannot fathom Till silence wins and Leaves fall In springtime Still When the flowers bloom And birds sing There is a squirrel Twittering – finding her own song
