All We Left Were Birds

 

I heard the birdsong through the air

From far away and long ago

The sound of sparrow and of crow

And knew no human travelled there

 

They sat aloft without a care

No threat from humans down below

I heard the birdsong through the air

From far away and long ago

 

As time flew I became aware

Of how the seasons ebb and flow

When there are only dreams to sow

And nothing left to hurt or scare

I heard the birdsong through the air

From far away and long ago

A beautiful piece Ian. It is always amazing that the birdsong stands out at this time of the ear. More so at the moment
