The Heavens Watch

The birds perch upon the wires

They watch you with their beady eyes

Look at you,

Tethered to the Earth by your mortal soul

The birds are spies from the skies

They know you

They know your fate

Blessed by the gods

Or damned by them

See them

Hear their call

They have a message for you

Their omens flutter in the wind

Their curses shake the trees

Why need a crystal ball

Why read the drawn out cards

When the birds,

Know all?
