IF WE CAME BACK AS BIRDS:

If we came back to earth, born as birds,

I´d be nightingale & sing in feathered words,

Or maybe, I´d be a swooping young swallow,

So that within blue skies, I would dip & wallow.

 

If we came back as birds, born upon this earth,

I´d be penguin, wadding about in my suit of mirth,

Or maybe I would be, that mightiest bird of prey,

Summoning all up high & with me, to soar & play.

 

If we come back as birds, one far & distant day,              

I´d be peacock, with vivid bright plumes arrayed,

Or maybe I´d want to be, the gentle pearly dove,

Showing all the world, how to, unconditionally love.
