IF I WERE A BIRD:

If I were a bird, I would be the blue jay,

And I would talk to the lazy brown trout,

Where green river reeds dance & sway.

 

If I were a bird, I would be proud eagle,

And I would fly away, beyond far oceans,

Where I would converse with the seagull.

 

If I were a bird, I would be an ebony raven,

And I would sit upon dark cold tombstones,

Where I´d talk to the dead, within their haven.

 

If I were a bird, I would be white silent swan,

And I would glide slowly, upon the quiet lakes,

Where, being mute, I would never talk to anyone.
