Poems about Birds

I once asked a bird,

"How is it that you fly in this gravity

Of darkness?"

She responded,

"Love lifts

Me"

- Hafiz

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all.

- Emily Dickinson

A perfect falcon, for no reason,

has landed on your shoulder,

and become yours.

- Rumi

If the wild bird could speak

She´d tell of places you had been

She´s been in my dreams

And she knows all the ways of the wind

- Krauss/Plant

Love Bites

- Def Leppard

Why do birds suddenly appear

every time you are near?

- Carpenters

Why bird has beak?

- me as a repetitive child
