The Bird's Song

I walked through my days

as if the hours were liars
and I stuck to my path

without a purpose.

I thought I knew your name,

Love.

I thought I knew your face.

I thought I knew the bird's song.

With rough hands

and soft eyes,

I was pulled from behind

the shadows.

Darkness is light

and time is poetry
and I didn't know I was lost at all
until you came and found me.
