An Ode to The Little Sparrow~ Edith Piaf

Raw words cut across my veins

They pass like silk, through the velvety petals of a rose

And prick my senses and caress my soul

I look across the room, you stand there

Your song sees through me

Your voice, soaked in wine and sunshine

Spreads like the scarlet rays of dawn

Touches, Nourishes, Mocks, Shocks

Enthralls me, appalls me

I can hardly breathe

There is a lot of smoke in here

And you fly across every wing of imagination

Charmingly, you sit steady on every mind

My heart goes to you, stops in the way

Looks back, finds me. Fills me, thrills me.

And you sing

Like a dove on a careless flight

Like the moon with all its might

Like a smile, like a poisoned arrow
In the crowd, like a Little Sparrow
