If I Was A Bird
If I Was A Bird
If I was a bird ~
& Lost all my feathers
Would I be scared
& Sit there and shiver?
My heart beating fast,
With no quill left to quiver.
If I picked up just one
& Dipped it in ink,
Trailed the unknown
In the space of a blink –
I would flutter alone,
Til the songs in the wind
Are calling me home.
