Sing Now, All the Birds of the Earth

awakening at daybreak 
my voice sings like a bird 
as the sun rises.
my arms stretch like wings 
ready to flutter and soar 
welcoming a new day
ready to travel far and beyond.  

we are not so different 
separate yet not alone
bird and human 
living and breathing
sleeping and dreaming 
for a better world
