It's the early mornings 

when I stare at the ceiling, 

and as it stares back, 

the cry of a little bird

reaches my ears, 

in a familiar tune, 

that I'd recognize 

in every language--

even the ones I don't know


The author's comments:

It's more on being able to indentify pain and hopeless in other humans and animals without the need for written or verbal language you need to understand literally.
