A Warm Day in a Cold City

A Warm Day in a Cold City

By Bird

Clouds move lazily through the sky

The air smelt like magic

In the way only the first few warm days can.

And the magic sparkled around me

The bird flew past and sang me a morning lullaby

And I felt connected to that bird

Because he is me. And I am him

So we sat together and he sang and I listened and I fell in love.

But then the city sounds scared him away and I was alone again.

But I am not ever truly alone

Because I know, when I go home,

There will be mountains and trees

There will be sky and stars

And that magic that only comes during special times

Will dazzle me everyday

I will wake up,

And just like an old friend

She will come to me

And wake me with a kiss on the cheek

We will go on an adventure and fly together

And fall in love with birds and toads

And splash through water with bare toes.

Together, we will never have responsibility

Except that which allows us to be free

I can feel my heart wanting to run

Feel it beating against my ribcage

Asking to be let out

But it is like when I sing

And my teacher tells me to let the sound out

And I thought I was

Because I was trying

But something was holding me back, and it is always there

Holding my back

So, now I am going to let go.
