Catch the Sparrow (New Poem)by Tim Kavi
catch the sparrow
while they take wing
catch the sparrow
as they take flight
so you may rightfully sing
gentle breezes carry
across the night
in the destined moonlight
one finds a nesting place
catch the sparrow
because Winter they do bring
singing their songs with a happy heart
catch the sparrow
you will find an awesome thing
flying on wing spans
carried away and above
in your lover's love
there is a singer's space
catch the sparrow
tiny but forceful and strong
catch the sparrow
fill the Earth with your song
catch the sparrow
beautiful breasted ones
catch the sparrow
until all the days are done
fair feathered ones
I see your feet in the snow
but I always know
your song comforts me
wherever I go.
