The other bird was dying, too.
For that's what every bird must do.
Grateful for a chance to live…
…to see the world…
…to love…
…to give.
And so she sat upon the ground…
beholden to the world around:
The trees…
…the stars…
…the riverbanks…
…And with her final word, said:
“thanks”
Two birds passed away that day.
Each saw things a different way.
Two birds came…
…now they are gone…
…And the world spins on and on.
