Bells and Birds
from Not Afraid of NothingThis morning I woke to sounds of bells and birds--as the choir in my head sang your holy words. "I love you 'cause you came to me with good intention and honesty..." I love you like the sound of bells and birds. Birds on the rooftop, black with eyes of gold. They fly as they feel, not as they are told. I am waiting patiently, to someday finally be free...like birds on the rooftop, black with eyes of gold. Children are playing, laughing in the streets. I lay weary, tangled in my sheets. Sky of trouble, sky of grey; whoever thought it could be that way, with children playing, laughing in the streets? This morning I woke to sounds of bells and birds.
