Open your eyes and open your ears
It’s right here in front of you
Take a step back to see it fully
It’s right here next to you
Turn your head ever so slightly

A bird flying through the sky crossing a cloud and landing on a power line
Black on blue
White on blue
Another bird joining
Their feathers shimmering in the sun

Two birds on a power line
Dressed up for the day
Grey on black on white on blue 
Showing up right in front of you
On their way from here to there
Tree to tree, branch to branch, power line to power line
Traveling light
Trusting to find whatever they need wherever they land
Traveling in the open, unprotected and exposed
Singing when the singing is good

Two birds sitting next to each other on the power line
Grey on black on white on blue
Taking a break together
