If I Placed a Sparrow #547



If I Placed a Sparrow

If I placed a sparrow onto yours,
my lover's sill,
would the warbler sing a melody
or hush within your still
as it peers into your window
at the peace found on your face
that could halt the course of heaven
and make enemies embrace
or,
if I placed a sparrow onto yours,
my lover's bed,
would the feathered wing a pirouette
or tranquil be instead
as might mesmerized a flower be
when first it sees the dawn
and the golden dreams of sunlight streams
recede into your yawn
or,
if I placed a sparrow onto yours,
my lover's grasp,
would the frightened wriggle until death
or breathe a lowly gasp
most assured by quintessential smile
that warms the deepest sea
like the warmth of Serengeti
warms giraffes that stretch for leaves
or,
if I placed a sparrow onto yours,
my lover's heart,
would the nestling build a stable home
or fledglingly depart
reborn into your firmament
as an eagle stealth in flight
soaring steadfast in the atmosphere
a love of greatest height.
