Quatrain of Passerine Foot - 1034

Quatrain of Passerine Foot

Passerine - belonging to Passeriformes - bird with
feet able to cling to a branch

I flew over when you were asleep,
while gliding on an imperial
feather,

The hope of landing and touching
you, with the wish of getting
together,

But admist no place to land, nowhere
to perch, sadness became hard
put,

If I am to catch your love, I must
find a branch and use my passerine
foot.
