Less than Three

Sparrow
what are you looking for?
Your Perch
of dried and orange limbs
Fenced in
surrounded by hazard
Searching
flitting your head around
Hello
Hello Little Sparrow
Sparrow
What are you looking for?

Here, There
What are you looking at?
Something
Where would you rather be?
Above
What are you afraid of?
Hey Now
Talk to me about it
Tell me
How is it that you speak
I've got
to learn to understand

Don't Watch
It will make me nervous
Don't Stare
I would rather be home
Don't Speak
you're excessively loud
Turn Away
I can't let anyone
else see
what you are calling me
Because
It's a scary world here

And if
they realize we can talk
We will
be used against our will
Leave me
here with my very own kind
I want
no part of your new world
Visions
of confused exception
Valleys
of drowning potential

Tonight
everything is changing
Today
finishes an era
You Must
share what it is you know
With those
who believe they are strange
Special
Youth in need of Haven
Show them
that home is within heart

I hold
My hand against my chest
A warmth
spreads throughout my body
Inhale
welcome the bitter cold
Exhale
let out the teaming heat
Feel the
ice becoming water
Take in
the things surrounding you

Now Go
to wash away the day
Warm up
So when the sun fades out
Comfort
will protrude the cross roads
Gather
together in high hope
So That
Stars wont be over worked
The sun
Will always rise once more

Sparrow
What was I looking for?
Your speed
leaves me stuck in wonder
Your wings
make me want to question
Will I
be able to fix this?
Flying
away into another
Tree Top
further from my embrace

Sparrow
did you ever see me
reaching
to hold you along side
Soaring
into the emptiness
without
a single hand in mine
only
to find you higher up
Calling
me upward and onward

Tell Me
what are you looking for?
Hello
Sparrow Little Sparrow
Welcome
into my loving hearth
Warm up
to hospitality
Rest up
before the next rising
Flutter
down to submerging dreams

Angel
Bullet with Sparrow's wings
stumbling
into the new morning
I'm here
burning to say to you
Thank you
for finding your way home
Sparrow
you are inside my heart
