Blue Bird
Skyler Drevan


Blue Bird

By: Jeffrey L. Williams

 

 

In the corner of the garden

There lives a little blue bird

His wings are restless, his body is torn

He tells me his life story

And I hear every word

 

There are enchanting stories of a splendorous life

Luxury, fame, pain and tears

I can hear his cries

They cut like a sharp edged knife

 

He continues down a road

Of many stories so untold

I hear them with sincere empathy

As the young and strong for the sick and old

 

I saw his tale like eyes through a clear window

I stare with excitement, fear and innuendo

 

Enlightened, I am by his fiery tales

I traveled down his road of broken trust and dirt trails

The moral, he says, is important to see

The moral is for me to always be me

 

 

There is a light

Shining above my face

In true human eyes

My soul remains
