Beyond a bird on the wire <br />Is a sky of light blue triumphing sapphire. <br />I looked up at the sapphire and the bird <br />Thinking if I could only sing a song of sunshiny words. <br />The sound would be as pretty perhaps as a tree in a breeze. <br />The facets of cool green leaves <br />On some closeby boughs reach higher and higher. <br />Shining under the golden sun and sapphire.<br /><br />Gayle Sweeney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-bird-on-the-wire/
