That Bird Outside My Window

I sit and I wonder. I wonder and I sit. Moments dance together, not worrying where they fit. Each of my thoughts hug me one by one, As I stare out at the smiling sun. A bird sits outside my window free, And sings a perfect song meant to be. I think and I stop. I stop and I think. Some worries follow like a shadow about to shrink. A tree waves it’s branches strong and true, Standing tall with stories old and new. Feathers hide his soul about to fly. Sky is grey with clouds ready to cry. I dream and I sleep. I sleep and I dream. Life is full of laughter, hidden tears, and silent screams. I sit on a bench with a dear friend, Sun winks bye, another day does end. I reach to catch one lonely, falling star. Sky full of stars does not seem too far. I walk and I talk. I talk and I walk. Time stops and stands still like a faceless, silent clock. Laughter fills the air one afternoon. Children chase and watch a gazing moon. Waves crash the shore and dance into our mind. Footprints journey through sand of time to see what they can find. I love and I listen. I listen and I love. Away flies perfect peace of broken wings of a dove. People sit and share their deepest thought. Crowds invade to see what can be bought. Butterfly flutters the horizon of a vision. We forget the caterpillar, it’s struggle and its mission. I am awake and I hug. I hug and I am awake. Blindness of the heart can’t separate what’s true, what’s fake. Never take for granted holding hands with a child, Or bouquets picked for you so colorful and so wild. Listen to stories the old man has told before. Fill your heart with compassion, Never close that door. Each sunset ends a day. Each star fills up the sky. Each footstep leads a way. Each dream learns how to fly. That bird outside my window full of feathers warm and grey, That bird outside my window sings a song for me today.
