I Thought, a Sparrow

I THOUGHT, "A SPARROW?"

IT was with a bang 
that first I heard
a thought:  sparrow had hit the house!
my sorrow for sparrow so immense!
The second bang shook my soul
surely a quake that rocked the world
my fear for the town so profound!
The third and last pierced my heart
and brought me back to my senses!

As the firing squad 
completed their task
   therein i died 
remembering life as a dream!

Intriguing and the best way to end reality is in dreams

Dreams! Life! And we forgive death when we finally awaken!
