Little Bird

 

Hatch, little bird, Hatch.

sitting in your shell

comfortable, warm

but you can’t stay

                            B R E A K

the boundary

and enjoy the world so

Hatch, little bird, Hatch.

 

Fly, little bird, Fly.

spread your wings and

                                    jump

put your worries behind you

because if you

                      fall

I will catch you so

Fly, little bird, Fly.

 

Look, little bird, Look.

what do you see

flying above the world?

is this what you

                       Im

                             ag

                                   in

                                       ed?

the blue, the green, the yellow

so closely

Look, little bird, Look.

 

The Rose

 

It sits in the garden,

the rose and its thorns,

for all to see

but none to scorn.

 

It’s been through a lot

the flower and its friends,

it knows sickness all to well,

yet it never bends.

 

Surrounded, left and right,

the beauty and its scars,

is loved by all,

but it feels so far.

 

Growing with love and care,

the bud and its leaves,

stands tall and proud,

and it never grieves.

 

But growing with hate and darkness,

the weed and its trouble,

will get nothing but death,

and end up in the rubble.

 

Running

 

running through the grass,

flowers bloomed all around them.

Behind, fire raged on.

 

Utopia

 

eyes closing, we run

we imagine great evils

chasing and watching

escape near, eyes opening

we look toward paradise
