The Bird Sings
When the sky reflects the heavens
And color collides with the earth
The bird sings
And still sings
When leaves wither away to dust
And securities succumb to survival
The bird sings
And still sings
When tears tear like a torrent
And the forces of nature unleash
The bird sings
And still sings
No Stillness
I feel stillness in the air
I know not from where
But a wind gusts there
I feel no stillness in the air
I see stillness in the lake
No course to take
But a fish's wake
I see no stillness in the lake
I hear stillness in the wood
Silent as I could
But a tree no longer stood
I hear no stillness in the wood
