Sparrow In A Veil


© 2018 Mark Cote

little bird sees the world
with wonder and love gently swirled
colors too deep for kind eyes to see
such a harsh reality

shadowed places and reaching tongues
repeat the tales so many have spun
stroke the feathers try to tie her down
same old scene from town to town

(chorus) into the air she goes
                     life on a wing through wind and snow
                     higher and higher where tears can't fly
                     sparrow in a veil
                     let it shine

the blood and tears roll off the wing
and the breeze above lets her sing
tomorrows wash away todays
and sorrows weight never stays

(chorus)
