Ocean of Thoughts

A magpie I am, A magpie I’ll always be

Not as glorious as an eagle, nor as enigmatic like a raven

I am small

I am mediocre

Nothing special, just a small bird in the background

But this magpie O’ dear!! Has loved you for years

But you’ll never know, why?

Because I am a nobody I say!!

But this magpie had fallen

Found its most precious enchantment

Like the magpie attached to gold I am attached to you

Like the magpie that indiscriminately collects gold I collect memories of you

But the magpie knows it can only collect so little and not all

Like I know I could only harbor a little and not all of you

But like the magpie who can never stop trying

I try to make the most of my time with you

Even though I know it would only hurt me in the end

One day a magnificent eagle might swipe you off your feet

Or a mysterious raven you might fancy might come along

‘Til then I promise to protect you and stay by your side

But when time comes you find your lover

I’ll back away like a cowardly nobody

Because a magpie I am, a magpie I’ll always be
