IF number 5

5 trees make no forest
but for me it's the world.

Number 1 I call The Hand,
every morning he waves hi!

Number 2 is Fork,
he is two trees in one.

Number 3 is Thin and Tall,
reaching for the sky.

Number 4 is Mister Beauty,
stout and proud,
exactly as a tree should be. 

Number 5 is Sprout,
he is a specialty, 
my windowsilly baby tree.
 

IF guitar

When nightingale dad
put his children to bed
he plays the guitar
and makes a nice choir
with his friend, little star
they sing a lullaby
about sweet applepie
and flying sky high
there is romance and dance
but owl wants Silence!

Solo palabras - Just words

Farewell-bird is crying. 

'Farewell', he sobs.

'With that word 
I always bring tears. 

To say goodbye 

and break up, 

it gives a big knot of pain 

in your tummy.'

Never more-bird 

comes floating in.

'What I have to say, 

is worse: Never more. 

I never come back,

never again.'

He swallows
and says in a harsh voice: 

'Never more 

is a terrible thing. 

It’s like a lump that sticks 

in your throat.'

'The word Regret
is far worse',
shrieks Regret-bird. 

'When you regret something,
you wish you
had acted differently, 

but you can not
alter this anymore. 

Regrets bash and clash
inside your head.'

When darkness falls 

they hear someone 

sing a sad song. 

It is the Missing-bird. 

'To miss

is the worst word. 

When you miss, 

you don’t feel your tummy, 

your throat or your head. 

You don’t feel anything. 

Just emptiness.'

'Dear friends, 

your words are just words',

says Love-bird. 

'All that sadness 
is caused by me, 

by Love.  

Without love, 

it doesn’t hurt 

when someone leaves. 

You just say 'Bye bye'.

But if you love, 

then parting is painful.

In your tummy, 

in your throat 

and your head, 

but most of all 

there is pain in your heart.'
