They fly and dance and chirp and sing
In trees, on rooftops, in time and in tune
They circle, fly straight, swerving and teasing
Singing songs of delight and merry
Songs from the heart in joy and merry.
In time with the universe
Tick tock
In tune with the waves and oceans, seas and rivers
Flowing, one with another,
Each into his own
Each with his own
Dim lights and flickering bulbs
Empty seats, stainless floors
Polished aisles and disinfected drawers
A canvas suited for a tale unknown
Tales of heroes and saviours
Tales spoken in the quiet of the night
Under sheets and the manuscript of the gods
Tales of hidden fears and unworthy feelings
Captured in time and through time with no limits to time
Tales of beaches and shopping malls and bathing in the moonlight
Where I see you, and you me
Frozen in a moment in time
Stood in a room, empty of life
Clock ticks the seconds away
Every thought is felt, Every feeling is planned
Every touch is intentional, every word is measured
Oblivious of prying eyes
Lost in the essence of the moment
A moment like none other
