A Rare Bird

A rare bird. A rare bird is he with feathers illuminous red and green; a bird that only few will ever see and perhaps twas meant to have been. This bird flies free over mountains and through the mind of a dream; escaping all barriers and leaving only temperance in mean. A breeze will lift him to the highest contemplation of being; and the rain will make him cry for this means a heart is bleeding. The whistle of this bird when heard flows gently and transcends feelings; he sits on your shoulder sometimes just to see what books you are reading. Don't be mistaken in thinking you'll ever actually be able to see him; first you must close your eyes and let yourself believe anything.
