I am a bird without a sky

I am a bird
Without a sky
 

I am the wind
With nowhere to blow
 

I am a light
Which only makes shadows

I am a sound

Nobody will hear
 

I am a day on the calendar

Without a year

I am a wave
Never reaching the shore

I am a flower
Without color
Without fragrance
 

I am a memory
In the minds of men dead

I am a boarded-up window

Facing a black brick wall

I am a guitar

That will never play at all

All my thoughts are of yesterdays
I'm so far away -

I am a sunset

Lost behind clouds
 

I am a diamond

Buried in the ground
Maybe one day
To be found
