Feathers & Dreams - French For Rabbits

I watched in horror as the bird went up in flames

Couldn’t beat his wings fast enough to up and fly away

So feathers into dust

Dreams into dust

Feathers into dust

Dreams into dust

For this small one

This one of many birds

I closed my eyes to see delicate wings in smoke

Heard the last cry of courage

Heard the last sweet note

Feathers into dust

Dreams into dust

Feathers into dust

Dreams into dust

Helpful hands won’t reach where they will only burn

These are lessons only if they are heard

Don’t turn away

Honor them by seeing them

Don’t turn away

Honor them by seeing them

Don’t turn away

Honor them by seeing their pain
