Distant Dreams

Squeeze my feathers. [very gently]

Why oh Why

 

I came into the humans' world
a place I'd heard of somewhere else
beware they said the foibles of that race
beautiful they are by far
skin deep is all they have
no hearts and souls we gave them
a facade thats all 

I travelled here, there, everywhere
circled high the clear blue sky
like them I dreamed I owned the stars
the space the universe
I laughed I cried
I loved them all and some I loved
a love they know not of

From a soul so deep within
I built new worlds of beauty, pictures words
they came to me
experiences they gave 
I flew ever higher still from strength to strength I gained
a momentum, 
unstoppable

I took an arrow to the heart
I retreated into the sanctuary of my soul
a second arrow quickly came
penetrating deeper still this soul 
the third it came today 

My dreams have all come tumbling down and are no more
of human kind I've had enough
I now go back from whence I came
where hearts and souls do live 
tranquil and serene, another kind of beauty
a place so seldom seen 
that only I know where it exists

"For I am Hawk"
