For Brown Bird

For you and only you I say this to
Two birds sat together 
One brown
One blue
They spoke to each other in tongues only they knew
And shared a single secret that couldn't be told
I don't know how a bird can talk
But I do know how it can sing 
In the spring with the air of hope all around
Sometimes I feel like a bird
The only one who can understand me is you
People hear me sing
But they never hear me speak.

  • Winter

    In the middle of winter you can’t hear the birds call from the tallest trees
    You can’t see the grass rustle in the wind
    You can’t hear the little bugs floating and flying in the air around you
    You can’t feel the soft buzz of life
  • The Present

    When I was younger everything was simple
    I didn’t have to worry about grades and relationships and my future
    I just lived in my mind
    Day after day
    Things were good
    I didn’t notice how the way I am would change how people view me
  • Taken away by the wind

    You can see your eye lashes when the sun shines in your face
    Like little dots floating above your iris
    When you catch a glimpse of them they look like the white fuzz on dandelion puffballs
