Birds on a Wire

BIRDS ON A WIRE

by Donna Holmes

inspired by Angie Campbell's photo & Susanne Campbell's music

 

We're all just sitting here, birds on a wire

So sad we're sitting in fear with no fire

Lighting us up and letting us go

On with our lives, oh no! oh no!

We're all just sitting here, waiting to fly

But in our fear we've forgotten just why

Our wings won't work, even though they look strong

Each feather's there but something wrong

So wrong

Been far too long

With no voice... no song!

We're all just sitting here, birds on a wire

So sad we're sitting in fear with no fire

Lighting us up and letting us go

On with our lives, oh no. oh no.

 

Oh no.
