The Bird of Knowledge

A compassionate morning that breaks all the rules
 just to brush against my cheek without being cruel 

A branch that hangs low enough for my eyes to adore 
 one I can look at from the window of my front door 

A bird that tweaks, with a happy song just for me 
 telling me how to live and just how to be free !
