Best Sing Like A Bird Poems
The gift of a new day
holds the promise of a new way
A new way of seeing
A renewed way of being
The shedding of old skin
A fresh place to begin
Resurrected once more
for the treasures in store
A farewell to the old
A chance for the gold
The sunshine above
Another day to love
With strength in your flesh
and a mind that is fresh
New ideas to conceive
with more grace to receive
To dance in the dawn
and forget what is gone
To sing like a bird
and speak a new word
To celebrate when
you are born once again
FATE IS SEALED
This road I've walked before
I should know it so very well
Because it opened up a door
One that lead straight to hell
I met a rider upon a dark steed
He asked me what's my pleasure
Then wondering if there's a deed
Or if perhaps any kind of treasure
Said I could be rich,even famous
Play the best guitar ones heard
Maybe I'd like the luck of shamus
Yes I could even sing like a bird
He asked me so many questions
After each I replied with "No"
wondered if I had any suggestions
Which I told him yes to just go
told me my wish was granted now
He'd be back in 10 years to collect
collect I ask and he just said wow
I should show him a bit more respect
Laughing said he just bought my soul
Confused I told him of my concern
Said should spend my time whole
laughing he said in ten I'll burn
Deja vu I hear beating hoofs again
There upon his steed silky smooth
Smiling he said shall we begin
I smiled telling him slow your groove
Confused he asked what was I up to
Said your the cross road demon right
Looking Leary said yes thats true
I said my dads the prince of night
Moral of this story if one was to be had
Always know with whom you do deal
As they should, so none can be mad
Never know it may be your fate you seal
Across the snow covered hill
the shadows lay before me, still
I search for words in the sunlight
But there are none, as if it is night
Maybe another time or day,
I will have much more to say
When the snow melts to the ground...
When spring brings forth its sound...
I will sing like a bird in the tree
My music will not escape me
Maybe another time or day,
the butterfly will come along my way
Lively, fluttering, flower to flower
Then, words will flow with a rain shower
If I can catch it just in time to be,
washed free from constraint on me

Imperceptive
Tell me how painful it’s when we all die.
Is it more painful than life made me cry?
I am not living; don’t ask me why.
Too many shadows are passing me by.
Dreaming every night, in dreams, I’m free.
I know now that I’m different from me!
The I, is childish, joyful with glee.
His life is painful and trapped within me.
I am the water seeking the sea.
Hoping to find it, yet I can’t see.
Where is this sea that I want to see?
I might be the sea; how do I see?
Free in my mind, I sing like a bird.
All day and all night, trying to be heard.
No one can hear since fear is here.
Nothing seems real; life is too blurred.
Who is the person behind my eyes?
Who is the driver that drives and tries?
The man is drunken wasted my life.
He is constantly wearing disguise.
Tell me the answer, why I can’t fly?
In my dreams, I can fly in the sky.
What is real, and what is the dream?
If I cannot fly, then I want to die.

Note: This poem is in the form of "Rubaiyat", it is the plural form of Rubai. Rubai is a quatrain with the rhyming of AABA or AAAA. Each Rubai is a book by itself, it starts and ends within the quatrain.
The painting is acrylic on canvas.
You spend all the day sneaking about
but you'll pay for each rule you now flout
You can bet that sweet tail,
you're the next cat to jail
and you'll sing like a bird to get out!
Your sweet gestures are like bait
How long shall I have to wait?
I can hear you sing like a bird
I want to catch you but it’s hard
You fly away to another tree
Do you love me is a mystery
I love you but I am afraid
You are like a pretty mermaid
If I say I love you baby
You may disappear in the sea
So I crave and wait for you to say
I love you from the very first day
Sing Africa, sing!
Shout to the Lord with your being
Sing to His glory for the great resources He gifted you
Sing like a bird that sings to its Maker, in adoration of His splendour
Sing Africa, sing!
Sing so loud like never before
Let all your children march towards emancipation
Sing with a united voice that sounds so sweet to the ears of those who love you
Sing Africa, sing!
Sing until the wicked roots of poverty are uprooted
Sing like you were not once enslaved by those who wanted your children wiped away
Sing as if you have never known pain, and joy is your everyday bread
Sing Africa, sing!
Sing from a Soul that carries best wishes for the Motherland
Sing in victory over the battles you won
Sing, let no one stop you from doing what you do best
Sing Africa, sing!
Get hold of that xylophone, trumpet, shekere, ekwe, djembe, flute, whistle, harp, horn, gong, balo, kora, kassa, marimba, mbira or any other musical instrument which you play with passion and pride, as the Masters of music
Sing Africa, because you understand the power of a song
Your song
What is your hearts desire
A song that sits the world on fire
One that touches the heart
Makes you think of each other when apart
One that makes you smile
Makes you happy if only for awhile
Calms your soul
Tells of your life's goal
Makes you raise your voice
It's your choice
Sing it now
You know how
Sing it loud
Maybe you'll draw a crowd
This is your night
It's your right
Reach for a star
It's not so far
You've waited so long
Now sing your song
Can't go wrong
Be true to your heart
That's how you start
Sing like a bird
Make your voice heard
Make this chance last
It passes so fast
Don't make it a could of
I only I would of
Reach for fame
Make them speak your name
It's your time
Listen to this rhyme
The stars in your eyes,
Glisten like rays from the sun,
Like a picture of the sunrise,
or a bullet-less gun,
They sing like a bird,
And dance like a god,
Yet they speak not a word,
And neither dance, sing or nod,
One look deep inside,
Can make anyone's day,
Attraction yet denied,
There world simply grey,
Possession unrealized,
But only by you,
You see them as a dream,
And dreams don't come true,
Yet everyone's hooked,
On these stars in your eyes,
And everyone looked,
At there almighty size,
And you've got so much attention,
You just lost me in time,
So you'll never hear me mention,
That those stars are mine!

Padre Dio, amore del tuo Creatore!
A Dio sii la gloria, abbiamo sempre e sempre bisogno di te

Dio ti benedica, splendore

Questo è ricco in questa spiritualità. Dio tu e canterò come un uccello e vola.

Who are those people who write addictive prose
I read their lines and they make me feel transpose
Tell me who they are for I much like to meet them soon
They must be super human who perhaps live on the moon.
They say our fears are liars that like to bring us down,
And if we believe our fears we soon won’t be around
Who are these folks whose poems makes my soul stand still?
Who are these bright people who have such gifted skills?
They seem to be the wise of old that paint a picture out of words
Please tell because their prose makes my heart sing like a bird
Who are these accomplished individuals whose words aluminate my heart?
They must be nightingales that sing their sweet songs in the dark
I sure would like to meet them and hear their words of lore
Do you believe they come from some forgotten shore?
Who are these brilliant personages who write of eternal hope
And love then turn around, and put our lives under a microscope
They tell their stories with such veracity that take my breath away
I want to understand how they know the way I feel every day
At times I wonder how they find the words to make their poetry rhyme
I read their verses with tears upon my face, especially at bedtime
With pen in hand and paper, I try to write words that do not come
And I just can’t describe the sadness, and again I turn to them
Who are these special individuals whose souls are overflowing
With words of wisdom plucked from our universe that’s forever growing
I feel content to read the golden leaves of life from those who have
Paid the price of pain, love and misery
that life can sometimes bring
There is this part of me
That looks beyond the Boy in me
That keeps me from doing ugly things
But drives me to levels of insanity
There is this part of me!
That make me love my Mom
And my Dad will my Hero be,
Both of whom I will love forever,
Both of whom a part I always will be
There is this part of me!
That every elocution I will try and win
That every competition I be in
Will make my parents proud of me
There is this part of me!
That likes to sing like a bird
Not necessarily an “Alan Walker” to be
More of a Ruskin Bond in me
There is this part of me!
That makes me dance a bit
Learning from my Dance Guruji
He moves like Michael in “Billie Jean”
Giving me cramps trying like him to be
There is this part of me!
Walking on the Sands of Time
Treating life like a beach
Feels good to grow up, the wind in my face –
And the sunshine will my Horizon be
There is always this part of me….
This Part will always be ME!!
