The Songbird

[Meus]

As we come to life and hear the songbird,
The world looks bright beneath the trees.
It has come to pass, the bout of sorrow
That kept us trembling at the knees.

It is lighter now beside the songbird,
The weight is swaying with the leaves.
And the plight of doubt is silent, unheard,
The voices whisper in the breeze:

We come together
So naturally,
Procreation
Binds us endlessly.

I see you through the clouds,
You're even higher now.
You fill the misty nights,
You keep my dreams alive.

I look above in awe,
I watch my angel soar.
You set my soul alight,
You weave the midnight sky.

If time were ours to bend,
If it would never end,
If I could stay with you,
Forever's far too few.

We'll meet again someday,
When looming ravens take
Our feathered souls away,
And lay our flesh in graves.
