Little bird

[aesmael]

Little bird, little bird,
See you shift and sprout.

Step on grass, stalk about,
Stare with watchful eye.

Feathers black, feathers white,
take to air alone.

Flap and soar,
glide and find your tree (today).

See through leafy veil of green,
shifting wind on creaking bough,
world of cool and desolate life.

Not here today,
not there tomorrow,
flying ever on.
