See the beauty before you, and the sadness of that which you do not understand.
Heart's Whisperings
Sad to us it seems the “Spiced Finch” who sings,
and its songs are never heard by the yearning of other birds.
But then we see it fly from the shore to where the sea meets the sky.
Winging wayward to no where’s end,
smaller it gets smaller, its reflection in our eyes.
What do we really know of these things?
This bird sends a message of life, to us it brings.
For the bird in our sight rises on the destiny of wind’s wings,
and songs of its heart's whisperings joyfully it sings.
