Bluebird

Tempo increases

That little jolt of my heart

Wakens tiny finches

Fluttering against my ribs

How I wish they were bluebirds

Moving me to happiness

Empty attraction

Perjures my mind with a lie

My heart does not love

Nor can I make it do so

I wish I were a bluebird 

To far rainbow's end
I would take wing and fly
Such a joyous place
Where tears come from laughing
And there is no reason to cry
