Small Birds

Small birds, once heard
Arrive
In my condition
They sing the song I try

In my religion
The sins are the psalms
Sing a song that whispers
“Nothing can go wrong
unless I let it into my soul”

Small birds whisper
My name
In my condition
They turn and fly away

In my decision
To live with the pain
Let it flood my body
Every single valley
and hollow in my soul
