I'Ll Never See a Bird Up Close

There it goes

Fluttering along

With the breath of spring

As its rustling wings echo

In my ears like permanent memories,

Its image brightening the day scenery.

 

But as I tiptoe as if the grass was thin ice

My close view is what I sacrificed,

When the bird flapped its wings and

Soars away

 As if my tiptoes

Brought rumbling tremors.
