Birds on Fences
What side of the fence
do you sit on?
Birds perched on fences
look down on the earth
Birds on fences know
The grass is not always greener
on the other side
Is there ever
a winning side
or a losing side
Birds on fences know
Worms burrow holes
on both sides
Shadows grow longer
under the one sun
Dawn rises on the dark side
and the sun sets on the bright side
Birds on fences know
“That the mystery of our universe
Can be found in a blade of grass”
An eloquent poem, Ivor! So much wisdom expressed in a few simple lines! <3
