The Reconstructed

I. You were unaware

I was flying through the air

Did you even care?

 

II. Your eye was on me

In fact they never left me

Yet it’s true, I fell

 

III. I fell to the earth

I think you may have noticed

I thought you’d catch me

 

IV. This ground is not soft

It hurt to hit all alone

Are you just watching?

 

V. We were both waiting

on the branch you grafted in

singing to the wind

 

VI. Has our song carried

through the weighty weathered rain

to wash away pain?

 

VII. My wings were dirty

a bath in holy water

cleansed me forever

 

VIII. Your voice is beauty

fluttering in melody

love is calling me

 

VIV. I come to you now

landing on a wooden fence

yearning for your face

 

X. This, your bird feeder

will always keep me fed

so I’ll always stay.
