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
