Once I dared a little bird
To grasp my heart betwixt his toes
And fly into the wind without further word
To whence my love should go

The little bird flew around the world
And landed in this very spot
Delicately he passed to me
My tattered punctured heart

Together the bird and I long stared
And wondered what went wrong
We learned that love could not be dared
But must be seeded with a song

If you dare to send your heart by wing
First make sure you learned to sing

She stood there looking in my eyes.
In an instant I saw how wise
And how determined she was.

I read her book,
heard her husbands lies,
I knew her rook,
would claim the prize.

Democracy is more
than voting for the boy next door.
As I watched my coffee swirl,
I knew our President would be a girl.

Morning dreams
between the seams
of my mind and yesterday
create my fanciful escapes
from the dark which came to play
In the middle of the night I saw a mare
who would not let me run
And so in the light
these dreams will fight
to allow my heart some fun!
