Amina Shareef Ali - In the Dark (Awake of Course), Vol. 2

Is Love a Bird?

Sweetest song I ever heard
Up and gone 'fore I've even stirred
Leave without saying a word
Is love a bird

Unwelcome guest, unwitting host
Thing I've feared and longed for most
A little death, or something close
Is love a ghost

As sharp as shale, as smooth as bone
As plain as dun, as rich as roan
A bond avowed, a distance thrown
Is love a stone

A stream of thought, a rite rehearsed
A silent prayer, a chanted curse
To raise the dead, or something worse
Is love a verse

Is love a bird
Awesome, frightful or absurd
Is love a ghost
Kept from rest by a secret not one other soul knows
Is love a stone
A splash in the night, a crack and a groan
Is love a verse
A race to see who can finish first
Quarry undetected, hunter undeterred
Is love a bird
