One Bird Singing Quotes

“Strengthen my heart
To keep speaking what I know is true
Even when it hurts
And brings pain I must go through.”


—From the poem ‘Offering”

“One bird is still singing.”

“We live for our time
We do the deeds
That change our world today
We are the people of the present
And now is what we say.”


—From the poem ‘Our Time”
― Kya Rayne, One Bird Singing

“This is the place where I want to be young
To breathe the beginning breath
Through newborn lungs
To run barefoot chasing butterflies
To sleep beneath wondrous skies
To stand on stony mountains
Far above the birch and pine
Looking down at all about me
I’ll call this world mine
…..
When the wild wind sings
I will hear its song
That beckons to my heart,
Tells me that I belong
And all these hills and every tree
Become a part of my story
…..
Yet, as the pages of a story grow
Characters learn, develop, go
May it be granted, if I leave
If I change in any way
That this place will always remain
The same as I saw it today
…..
If my feet wander
If life’s paths take me far
Time may alter youthful face
But let not it change a tree or star
Let not it touch a leaf
Nor a river, nor a stream
Or raise a cloak of shadow
Over even one sunbeam
The years may not lift their hand
To crumble any stone
Or free their feet to trample
Fields where flowers have grown
…..
If I tarry long
The song will bring me back
If in the journey I am lost
The wind will steer my track
I will be changed when I come
Grey hair and marred face
But the hills will recall
That I am one with this place
Standing, just the way I used to
Upon the mountain height
Breathing, just the way I once did
The crisp, star filled night
And praying, just the way I always have
That I might be young here.”

“Say what you believe
And fight with all you are
I told you truth wasn’t easy
—Neither is catching a shooting star.”


—‘Only the Truth”
― Kya Rayne, One Bird Singing
