Not always sure what things called sins may be
I am sure of a sin that I have made right
I was just a boy and they were just two birds
But as my gun went out between the frost flowers
My heart went out as well......To the animals whose lives I had the power to take
I scrambled up and ran to them
Praying that they were still in the land of the living
Their cries of distraught high and sharp as glass shards
Slicing through my heart as I ran to bring them in
I must preserve their lives.......to preserve my conscience........to preserve my sanity
And as I led them in whispering comforting words
I towed the weight of my sins toward my home
I nursed them
I fed them
I doctored them
Until they were ready to be released
And as they flew away, weightlessly supported by the wind
I prayed that my guilt be forgiven by all things airy and beautiful
