Dreams

I wish I were a bird
Soaring through the sky,
Dancing with the wind,
Light and free.
Leaving this frazzled earth behind.

I'd sing a cheery melody,
Shake the dirt from my wings,
Take off as soon as the sun awoke,
From the highest tree
I'd spring from these weary feet.

I'd have black feathers in my hair
And wear blue ones on my chest,
My wings would shimmer of the Moon,
Silver light
A shadow of me in the night.

Oh, I wish I were a bird.
