No, heaven&#039;s not a place that you go when you die<br /> It&#039;s that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive<br /> So live for the moment<br /> And take this advice, live by every word<br /> Love&#039;s completely real, so forget anything that you&#039;ve heard<br /> And live for the moment now

Vulnerable pink flesh
Dusted with black fuzz
Stretched across a small skeleton

Sharp golden beak
Tucked under siblings
Tiny baby claws

Cramped twig nest
Soft downy of feathers
Rising from the external womb

Kissing the clouds
Embracing the sky

Taking off in flight
