Can we see
with our nose
can we think with our ears
when the suns on the grass
Does it bring us to tears
it does in the depths
where few far awayMay see a small butterfly
It’s tongue on this day
the nectar of petals
a solemn desire
A Hare wants to share
is prepared to leap higher
do we sigh with our soul
do we rigidly feel
does that ache in our bones
that some might conceal
Can frustration be ours
a poignant remark
can we sit on the fence
and sing with the Lark
Dare we compete
will our
throats be too dry
if we had feathers
then could we fly
or fall off the fence
and just cry.
