NaPo WriMo: Day 11

If I Was a Bird

If I was a bird

I would hide in your garden

Perch on a branch and

Watch you lay my seeds

If I was a bird

I would nest in your bushes

The twigs be my blankets

And the rain be my roof

If I was a bird

The worms would be my neighbours

The insects my sofas

And your hands my sun

If I was a bird

I would visit your window

Wait till you were asleep

And sing into your dream

If I was a bird

I would wake you in the mornings

Find your wonky tile

And hop above your head

If I was a bird

I would live in your garden

Let you give me name

And put me in your cage

If I was a bird

I would hide in your garden

I’d keep my wings unmoving

And never fly away.
