Song of Birds

 I searched the cosmos for eternities 
I traveled to the ends of infinities
I witnessed galaxies' deaths & births
I finally found my way back to Earth

Earth - she's breathtaking from space
More beautiful than any lover's face
I forgot her voice - it's been so long
The silence of space is a haunting song

My spaceship lands - what's that sound?
Angelic orchestra when life's around
In the music - The Truth I heard
I really love song of birds


Drafting Process

I searched the cosmos for all eternities
I traveled to ends of all infinities
I witnessed universes’ deaths and births
And somehow ended back at my earth

Earth – she’s breathtaking from space
More beautiful than any lover’s face
I forgot her voice – it’s been so long
The silence of space is a haunting song

My spaceship lands – what’s that sound?
An orchestra when life’s around 
In that moment a lesson learned
“I really do miss the song of birds”

I searched the cosmos for eternities
I traveled to ends of infinities
I witnessed the universe’s death and birth
And somehow ended up back at earth

Earth – she’s breathtaking from space
More beautiful than any lover’s face
I forgot her voice – it’s been so long
The silence of space is a haunting song

My spaceship lands – what’s that sound?
An orchestra whenever life’s around 
In that moment a lesson learned
“I really do miss the song of birds”
I searched the cosmos for the mirror that holds my faces.
Hidden in a black hole
That felt uncomfortably like home

Blanks filled in my ad lib life
Fabricated faces carosal
You’re afraid of staying in one place
So you walk the same circle
And curse your lack of progress

When you have no face 
There were a lot of blanks on my character sheet
I let others fill in about my ad-lib life.

and then I made the new person
I Am.

I searched the cosmos for the mirror that holds my faces.
Hidden in a black hole
That felt uncomfortably like home


I searched the cosmos for eternities
I traveled to ends of infinities
I witnessed the universe’s death and birth
And somehow ended up back at earth

Earth – she’s is breathtaking from space
More beautiful than any lover’s face
I forgot her voice – it’s been so long
The silence of space is a haunting song

Now I’m back on earth – my feet on the ground.
used to floating in space – legs shake under gravity.

My spaceship lands – what’s that sound?
I forgot the music when life’s around
They ask of my journey and the lessons learned
I say “I learned how much I’ll miss the songs of birds”



It seems silly, but how much I missed the song
