Memoirs Of A Hawk
I sit, thinking, wondering.
I dream of a world where I can venture into the hustled town
Around me I am isolated
Just the sparkling clear pond and hum of the insects, grasshoppers mostly
My only friends
The sun beats down through the dying trees and I'm parched
As I approach the pond I see it, the civilization
I gaze across the shamrock sea
Focus
I see a mountain, like a gum drop glistening in the sunlight
Focus
I see the outlines of the buildings, the church bell
Focus
I see a street lined with beaming children, ice cream in hand
Focus
I see a house, a loving family sitting on their porch
Focus
I see their smiles, true joy
How I long to have it
Focus
I look down in the pond
My reflection stares back up
How I wish to see those smiles
Rather than just a hawks imagination
How I am isolated
The church bell tolls.
