Soul Talk - 1. Fly Pretty Bird Fly

Fly Pretty Bird Fly

Snow tipped

confectionarily dusted

cheerfully brooding

Mountainous Himalayas

Bright

Vibrantly colourful

Transient land

Of the Rising Sun

Tricked and Tempted

by songs of promise

Hope and future,

a better life

A lark, no crow

beautifully deceptive

heralding, a

New Age

Climb aboard!

rat t l es an d sha ke s

traverse cold, unforgiving blue

The land of promise awaits

Take hold, stead fast

Child of the future

Your identity

frigidly breaks

Fractured, multiple

You do not belong

Your potential

encaptured, enchained

Who are you little bird?

In this land untouched

and barren to the world

of our people

Come sweet bird

spread your wings

take flight from

the self inhibited cage

The sky, it calls

warmth and cool

whisk him

into a welcoming embrace

Gently it guides

over treetops of green

to a jungle

of concrete and stone

He opens his eyes

for the first time

he sees

a world built of neon and coal

So the wind takes leave

having accomplished its deed

and whispers, solemnly

You're home
