When we're born,

We see nothing...

When we first open our eyes

We see white collars covered in glitter and blood...

Hands holding 9-inch nails...

Laughter spreading false joy...

When we take our first step,

We realize we have wings...

When we first start to speak,

We realize we have power...

...

How crows like to dance under great thunderstorms...

How eagles like to soar above heaven...

How hawks like to hunt above the Egyptian pyramids...

How vultures like to eat from the suicide valleys...

We want to fly with our minds,

And brush our colors for the world to see...

But we must beware of the atmosphere that brings unexpected visitors...

How swift their legs move on our tracks...

How soft their voice is in times of danger...

We are nothing but cubs lying near Mt. Everest...

We are nothing but trees that are awaiting to sprout in spring...

We are nothing but blind birds awaiting to see the unknown.
