Birds On Me

A car paused right beside me
As I cross the road the day you were almost gone
From my mind

I looked up and what are the chances
The exact same car number on it
Yea, only three different alphabets
I blinked twice
Just to be sure my eyes weren't tricking me

No it was real
right in front
A different color and a different model
Was it relief I had felt or
Was it something else
Somehow I don't wanna be sure myself
Let it drive passed by
A coincidence that's all,
I tell myself

Stop opposite the road I smoke
As I puff on my recent stick of reliance
Something was on the bottom of my shirt
A slight sudden weight

How could it be, oh so cute
A little bird, was it a sparrow I'm not sure
It was clinging on to my shirt
I've never seen anything like this before

I tried to shoo it gently urging it to go
It refused stubbornly and I was amazed
I didn't want use strength lest I hurt it
Touched it gently, tried to make it fly
A few long minutes of clinging and my pushing
Finally the bird fly but not away
It only went up to the little tree steps away
Staying on a branch looking at me

I walked away
Back to my office
Tried to put this out of my mind
Just like the story of you and me.
Get back to reality

Birds of a feather, your favourite quote
Birds on video, a few days you posted

Could it be a sign?
How do you know anyway, if anything were a sign and if so,
How you may even decode them?

We don't get answers to things so many
They stayed in our hearts as a mystery
I only wish perhaps one day
On earth or be it in heaven
All answers shall be given

Unless perhaps,
Before then, you have showed me.
