The Bluebird - II
Go to Zine5 Interactive
Looking at the bluebird
	on the mayflower tree
Is an end in itself
	you'll agree with me
What goes on in its little head?
	What are its thoughts and its needs?
Why bother, enjoy the sight
	Live the moment along with me
Will it fly off all so soon?
	Or will it stay a while longer?
Does it matter? - cherish the view
	live in the present as I do.
Where is its mate?
	What does she do?
Why worry, look at the bird,
	you will like it if you do
We gave it attributes - 
	vagaries of a conditioned mind - 
Cast it off, look at the bird
	you'll know then all is to it.
Looking at the bluebird
	On the mayflower tree
Is complete in itself
	You'll agree with me.
