I sit here in silence, observing the fray
They jump and they fly and they chirp and they play
No notion of others, surroundings are clear
They have no concern for the things that are near
A troupe, all together, just having some fun
Enjoying themselves now that rainfall has come
A friendship? A family? Their dynamic unknown
I’m certain of only one thing that they’ve shown
Simplicity flies in this unit of four
No worries, no stress, no rich and no poor
Their life is just that, a puddle to play
A place to post up and put worries away
And as I observe, these birds look around
They hop and they leap and leave marks on the ground
I can tell that they’re happy, such joy do they feel
As they chirp and they play, I can see it’s so real
They love one another, there’s no question of that
I can tell just by watching, it’s a sobering fact
I can’t help but wonder, as I see these birds play
Why humans can’t see things this simple today
This life wasn’t forged for such fury and fear
We were meant to be loved, all my friends, it’s so clear
Today, make a promise, I beg for your words
Reflect this world’s beauty, like this bath of the birds
