The birds of time

1.      Not only the birds can be the stars

2.      But they can also fly to the sun without melting

3.      Dissipating the heat in the steaming sky

4.      Inspiring the picture of a summer wallpaper

5.      Shadowing the sun late in the evening

6.      Perching at night in the warm nest of secrets

7.      Scattering the dream when the day begins

8.      Not only the birds can be our thought

9.      But they can also fly faster than conception

10.  Flapping in our bodies their imaginary wings 

11.  Gliding in our soul like thieves in the night

12.  Twittering in our ears the song of silence

13.  Leaving in our eyes their migratory imprint

14.  They can tell the time when our clock is striking

15.  Even if they don’t know how the birds can always fly.
