If I were a bird
I would contemplate the world
from a branch on high
and wonder why
so many humans
cannot see
the real meaning of life
the beauty
the simplicity.
If I were a bird
I would look up at the sky
and see the vastness
and the greatness of it all
and offer up thanks.
If I were a bird
I would sing a song
to celebrate life
to celebrate simplicity
to celebrate the awareness of it all.
I am a bird
sitting on a branch up high
Observing the human that I am
and wondering why.
