I am soul, I am patient. I have sworn to listen. I remember the peacetime, when we traverse our lives I will, I will die I still live in the nest. I am hungry, my neck stretched. One more worm out her mouth, and I'm running aground. I will, I will fly How my wings divide, how long they've waited to be tried! How my mouth is full of sky, How unlike peacetime. If I'm ever greedy, If I'm ever helpless, I've forgotten that many of my lessons are timeless. I am human, I am alive but I'm mostly unkind. I have sworn to be patient I have sworn to listen. I will, I will learn.
