The bird made of steel

The bird was trying to cross the blue gates
Its steel-made wings were too heavy to fly
No one saw the steel-bird
Crossing the blue waves in the sky

He was blind and couldn’t feel
Neither the rain or the sun
Senseless and blind
He was more dead than alive

The steel cage was protecting its small heart
The blood was rusty
The heart was almost faint
The wings were almost motionless
Still it crossed the skies

He, the one who seeks vengeance
because Nature gave him a colorless eye
and a faint heart filled with rusty tears
already dry

Now it has reached the skies
Together they go to a paradise
that doesn’t exist

Where is bliss?
You left it when you forsake your poor hearts,
someone answered.
Where is my heart?
Your steel-made cage suffocated it to death!

Wandering in the skies
Suicide was near
The aircraft was, naively, passing that time
The crash was silent
The silence so loud

No cry of pain was heard
The bird lost its steel-made wings and flown home
the home he never knew he had
You stood still and tried to cry
But the tears wouldn’t come

Where is bliss?
He asked once again
It’s where you’ve always been
Someone said

Why can’t I see it?
You’re closing your eyes
No, they’re open
Open them to life, someone said

He tried to cry
But his human side was afraid
To break the steel
He wanted to find the bird

Where are you?
Here
Where?
In your heart
Release me…
