Analysis of A Bird's Eye View



A songbird singing,
from a tree branch,
alone in a forest,
echoing through time...

How much longer?
how many more years?
how many more songs?
Singing forgiveness;
of all the wrongs...?

Flying through time & space,
looking upon the below,
seeing the world's show,
playing; the human race...

A bird's eye view,
having walked in many shoe,
seeing more than most,
to you, I raise a toast...

A parable understanding,
where the bird's landing,
looking all around,
as his feet hit the ground...

Looking for evil,
guarding his will,
to do good in life,
looking past the strife...

A song; only a bird could sing,
while analyzing everything...
