a long long time ago there lived this little bird
she wasn’t bigger than other birds
she wasn’t even especially different
she just knew that she wasn’t like the others on the inside
she was a bird who had bigger dreams and a bigger heart then most
she loved harder, she cried louder
she wanted to find the place that she could call home
so she searched and searched for what seemed like forever
then one day she decided to let it be in the hands of the whisperer
see all along this whisperer had been telling her dreams, hopes, wishes
fairytales of what was in store for her
she believed more than anything she’d ever read or seen
she wanted so madly to believe that she took a chance
she jumped, from that very branch, very tree that she knew so well
her heart leapt into her throat, but she did it
she flew terrified, flapping her wings so fast
so fast that she felt like they would come off
then as she found her flow within the glide
just then she was flying
flying so high, high above tree tops
she was soaring like shed never before soared
this time as she took flight she was finally where she’d always wanted
