Sparrow
I feel the coldness of my heart
the heaviness of the day
I see the sparrow fly so far
and watch her float away
She frees me as I watch her
into the endless horizon she goes
I drift along there with her
as I watch the universe flow
The light outside is bright
inside me it starts to glow
A breeze suddenly appears within
then magically it starts to grow
I wondered about that sparrow
while I unlocked the door today
I bonded with the blue sky
and let the pain go away
I watch the earth come alive
and bring me the spirit of love
The flowers blooming colorfully
the birds soaring high above
