Boy and a Bird

boy and a bird perched on a ledge

counting sheep

the winters bleak and grey

so they wait

hold your breath count to ten

let it in

let your heart play pretend

it’s alright

what’s the difference between

the world we’re living

and the promise that we made

to keep believing realities as real as what you make

you make it out to be

walk to work

how many steps down the road

five ten twenty feel them go

like little friends

kid plays pretend

rustling the keys to his heart

he wouldn’t know what his art

might become

what’s the difference between

the world we’re living

and the promise that we made

to keep believing realities as real as what you make

you make it out to be
