A bird
flew so close
I felt a flutter
of air on my ear
For me it was
a literal brush
with nature
For the bird
it was nothing
I could imbue
some human emotion
on the bird
but it would
be false
As the bird
only knows
survival
Eat and Sing and Fly
and nothing more
It is I who has
the overcomplicated
life full of conflicting
emotions that need
serious analysis
The bird is
just a bird
D. James
