A bird flies over a city
Seeing and hearing secrets from below
Soaring through the sky
Judging from above

A bird sits on a tree limb
Hearing two people converse
Chirping at the couple
Trying to help them stay together

A bird lands on a power line
Watching the cars as they pass
Remembering every person it sees
Observing their actions

A bird sings a song for the forgotten
Giving its respect for the dead
No one understands the little bird’s song
A bird who has lost a friend

A bird flies over a city
Seeing and hearing secrets from below
Soaring through the sky
Loving from above
