A sparrow falls
Through
Dawn-air-rain-
Looking hard,
Searching for
A perch.

No Song
I looked back to where
The sky ended. Some
Days no rain would
Come. Some birds
Didn’t have a song.
The Peacock
Out of nowhere a beautiful
Peacock showed up in our
Quiet little neighborhood.
It struts around with its
Rainbow of feathers all
Spread out. It has this call
That sounds like someone’s
Being murdered. It won’t
Let anybody near–it might
Chase them anyway.
Peace
In a world full of tension
And fighting, people look
For the elusive bird of
Peace. Families and cities
And countries boil over
With turmoil until the
Majestic bird of peace,
A dove, lands among
Them and peace breaks
Out.
Hold On
Hold on to your dreams
Do not let them get away
Or they will be like a bird
With a broken wing who
Steered you away from
Your goals
