I think if I were an animal
I’d be a magpie
Collect all the wonders of the world
Collect all the stories across continents
Written, read, and told
New worlds, old ones,
All the knowledge I could hold
Collect paintings, sculptures, symphonies
Till my heart has no room
Hallelujah chorus ringing deep inside me
Starry night swirls to the tune
Find the magic in a hummingbirds wings
Find beauty as a church bell sings
Find peace in a soft trickling streams
Find the wonder in collected dreams
