Bird Song

A Bird told me
(while in my dreams I traveled)
of Trees that would grow,
and their hands would only come so close
to their mother Sky.

Her tears became life,
and Her breath blew Her children's sorrows.
Her words became music
(songs only the Birds know)
for dawn's yawn to announce.

A note.
A sound.
These eyes found light,
and the Birds sang,
for their mother Sky.
