Sparrows
The sparrow, dart like, wrapped tight in cute
Speeds lightly in the skin it's born with
Spirals about with brown feathers that it owns
Navigates Summer bushes, labyrinth like towards morning
Branches wave hello on heavy boughs
Weighed down in lumber towers
Skimmed by sparrow wings in flight
Dodging space and time, the passage ways of light
They twist nervously, being shy and in a hurry
Taking drinks from dew drops circularity
Low in calories
That is why they are so skinny
Bound by no rules of dieting
Flying comes naturally
Seeds fill their world with joy
Speaking through beaks is not for them
Little birdies like to chirp
Dart like and pretty singing
