Birds [I: Chasing]
Circling Overhead
-
When they wanted to go away
All that was was an endless stay
-
Always her pulling in
Deceiving in actions
-
Yet they needed to see her
To see what was
-
Just her was their vision
A bird flying around
-
Only they would understand
The words written by hand
-
While she flew away
Chasing now
-
Was they
Chasing by that thought
-
After her they went
A bird flying away
-
Describing her wasn't easy
A hawk, an owl, a kestrel
-
Only her was the bird
Flying in the night and day
-
And she flew at dusk
And dawn
-
And they ran
Running down
-
On her path
All was known was a bird
-
While she flew away
Lost
-
Was they
Searching
-
For her
Finding feathers
-
That she clipped off
And stumbled
-
And she fell
Fell away
-
From they
Crashing down
-
Hurting herself
Fading away
-
Leaving them
Hiding away
-
And they were lost
-
When they wanted to go away
All that was was an endless stay
-
Always her pulling in
Deceiving in actions
-
Yet they needed to see her
To see what was
-
Just her was their vision
A bird flying around
-
Only they would understand
The words written by hand
-
While she flew away
Chasing now
-
Was they
Chasing by that thought
-
After her they went
A bird flying away
-
Describing her wasn't easy
A hawk, an owl, a kestrel
-
Only her was the bird
Flying in the night and day
-
And she flew at dusk
And dawn
-
And they ran
Running down
-
On her path
All was known was a bird

While she flew away
Lost
-

Leaving them
Hiding away
-
And they were lost
