I Saw a Bird

I saw a bird flying in the cool blue above
A sparrow it was, but it soared like an eagle
On wings of love
The bird spiralled in the wind
It was going through a transition
Then it lost its wings and fell
The bird plummeted to Earth
It landed on its wing
Crippled, it dragged its wing in the dust
Then the bird stopped moving
And slipped slowly into death
Daylight had changed to dusk, love had come and gone.
