Little Bird
What hurt you little bird?
I could hear the sound of your cries from miles away
You flew up to my window
And tapped the glass with your small beak
Tell me, what’s wrong?
I let you in, and you sit upon my bedpost
You say to me you no longer wish to be here
To live with me in this garden
Years of protection had led you to believe
that your freedom is dangerous
Your freedom can cost you your life
What hurt you little bird?
Why come to me now? Of all the days, today.
Tell me, what changed your mind?
You say that there is more to this world than a garden
The fruit, the fresh water
You wish to leave all things beh
