A Bird

I am a big bird
I travel the sky
Be the bird that flies
I’ve winged o’er the Earth

I’m now just a bird,
But I’m caged a cage
My heart ‘tis skewered 
Wherein Life once graced 

I still am a bird,
Whose chest still pulsates 
In dark the fool prates
To the bird once was

Be gone, oh my love!
O dream flight has gone
Man have I become,
Who fathom the Earth
