Little Bird

Little Bird

 

Little bird outside my window 

from where did your song begin?

Was it from a dream?

Melodious and cheerful 

your singing gently woke me.

I looked through my bedroom window

and saw you flutter away.

The sky was blue.

A slight breeze quivered the leaves

 on the trees.

I rubbed my eyes and pondered

 if I was still asleep.

Drifting up off the floor 

I floated out the window.

As  vapor I passed through

 the tree branches 

and into the sky.

I swirled within a flock of starlings 

over a grassy field.

Fluttering wings were all around me.

Then I  rose higher into the sky 

and merged with a darkened cloud.

Suspended among the droplets

 I became rain.

As perfectly round beads of water

I  poured to the ground.

Then I became a water puddle.

A child played in me with such joy.

He jumped and splashed 

til his mother called for him. 

The sun came out and 

I returned into vapor.

I floated upward into the sky 

and became dew 

on the wings of an eagle 

that landed on a high tree top.

He shook his feathers and

 I landed on green pine needles.

I glistened in the sun 

before I floated up into the air again.

Up into the clouds once more 

I became snowflakes.

I melted and trickled

down the chimney of my house.

When I reached the floor

I regained my original form 

and woke in my bed to hear 

the little bird sing outside 

my bedroom window. 

 I thought, little bird,

you must be magical

to have delivered such a dream

Or maybe my soul 

is the notes that the little bird sings.
