the rock

I found a rock on the ground
A hound with a visible sound
A sight that took me beyond
The plea of a rock on the ground

I found a word in the wind
A nerd, a cynical fiend
A bluebird without a wing
That taught my voice how to sing

I found a song in a sigh
A sweet, new lullaby
Carries me up to the sky
To ride with the clouds way up
high
