Birdwatching
Birdwatching Reflections: Navigating New Beginnings with Feathered Neighbors
Lyrics
Why can't I just watch the birds
Desire to peacefully observe birds
From my window with my binoculars
Using binoculars to observe birds from the window
Without my neighbors watching me
Wishing to birdwatch without being observed by neighbors
Suspiciously like I'm a creep
Feeling perceived as a creepy person
I'm new in town and I'm afraid
New in town and feeling apprehensive
To wander past the open gate
Fearful of exploring beyond the immediate surroundings
The irony is that I've moved
Irony in moving for better things yet facing challenges
From lesser things in better shoes
Reflecting on past experiences and improvements
I've resided in this town a spell
Long-term residency in the town
And I can say that I've been well
Expressing well-being and positive experiences
Some trees have gone and with that left
Noting changes in the environment, particularly the absence of some trees
The birds I minded in their nest
Mention of birds and their nests affected by environmental changes
Peninsula you gave me rain
Gratitude for the weather elements provided by the location
You gave me sun you gave me wind
Acknowledgment of diverse weather conditions experienced
It's been a weathered year I fear
Reflecting on a challenging year
But I will keep a window here
Determination to maintain a connection with the outside through a window
I will keep me a window here
Reiteration of the commitment to keeping a window for observation
I will keep me a window
Final affirmation of the intention to maintain a symbolic connection to the outside
