I. Introversion, 1. The Bird.

Awful it is how much I talk -

Yet how little is heard-

Forgive, of me, this vacancy-

for I am with the birds,

 

In flight I find - some peace of mind

Where lonely cannot touch-

Now disconnect, I may reflect-

The sting that stung enough,

 

I fly beyond the white embrace

To temples in the sky-

For in the air - my own despair

Is soundless as a cry,

 

This wind, mine - this sky, mine,

All these dreams follow true-

But of all things - You have no wings -

I can never have you.
