Baby bird


On the drive to work as the sun beams for Me 
My mind and core still always reeling 
Can't comprehend the depth of feeling 
As you helped to ease and fix 
A heart that had once all but stopped it's desperate beating 

Once a girl standing on a fresh grave 
With no words fitting for it's stone
Sitting in offices, trying to act brave 
Counting pills in a hand that felt 
The death of part of its soul
As it flew away like a wounded bird 
Wanting and yearning to be seen and be heard
Broken and useless, Afraid and a burden 

Now a woman who's standing in her own grace 
A partner by her side , no longer lingering in place 
Words flowing deeply from her expanse 
Standing in her own scene , eyes gleaming
Thankful her core has a fresh chance to dream
Feeling the light winds of travel 
As a new bird that's just hatched 
Ready to see what life will unravel
