Sparrow - Ken Stringfellow
Despite what you have heard
You cannot cage this bird
The sparrow on the wing
Longs to hear you sing
Once you have opened your heart
To it's church
You find that the sparrow
Won't come to it's perch
Tears in conceit
Narrow as your caged beliefs
If you must assume the rose may never bloom
Is creation such a fact
Can it be taken back
Once you have opened your heart
To it's church
You find that your heart
Won't come home to it's perch
Years to complete
Arrow winds in two wounds deep
Once for those who put a size on love
Once for those who only look above
For sideways eights
Once you have opened your heart
To it's church
You find that your heart has come home
To it's perch
