Warbling in the sky
a chirping bird was I
Humming a canorous song
in the land where I belong
Then one day I had to leave
that verdant place that sand
and I became a forlorn bird
in a faraway distant land
In that strange place
I was left all alone
missing my home and wondering
where those days have gone
Will those days return?
will there be an end
to this woe of pain?
will I ever find a friend?
Then one day I saw
a flock of birds chirping loud
and wondered if I would find
a dear friend in that crowd
Yes, said a little bird
in sweetest voice I ever heard
I had found a friend at last
so pretty, demure and shy
We spent each day each moment
just rollicking with joy
But one day that friend vanished
like a shadow in thin air
I searched I screamed I cried
but Oh it was nowhere
He might have moved to
pastures more green
did my love lack
that truth, that sheen?
The sky was sneering
and laughing at me
that very sky
where I once did reign
I sat down to count
my losses n gain
that love those tears
was all this in vain?
was I so foolish?
was I insane?
he could never could read
that deep love that pain
as perhaps my feelings
were not ornate but plain
That love got lost
in the flux of time
the autumn shroud has silenced
that faint vernal chime
But this deplumed bird
will resurge again
n I’ll rise like a phoenix
from ashes of pain.
