I tore from the sky a bird
It came down to talk to me

Before any war began
He told me the opposites

And war’s wasn’t peace
But creation, the bird song

And I drifted to sleep
When awake, music and bird gone

Advice still alive
Torn from the sky above

Advice from a struggling soul, a bird....summing up his last words upon his catcher. Very few of us will be able to give last words, our final thoughts about out short time on this earth..........
