Persevere Through Fear

Woke up to the sound of a bird singing  
Thought I was in R.E.M. & still dreaming  
It's amazing how an avian will sing a song  
Regardless if it's imprisoned or in a storm  
 
Decided to write a poem about how it perseveres  
How the melodic tune is like music to my ears  
Aware of its snare but its spirit soars the skies  
Our bodies can be caged but never our minds  
 
I rise this morning prepared for another day  
Motivated by avian's symphony to stay & play  
Not being carried away by the streams of fear  
Avoiding overindulgence of this Corona beer
