The parrot who dreams.A Poem by Babette:D a parrot who sleeps on the first day of sunshine after winter.The parrot sits in the sunshine, sleeping slightly. The sun warms the parrots chilly feathers. The parrot doesn't remember the last time it was warm. He only remembers snow, and rain and ice. Nothing more. He sighs deeply in his sleep, dreaming of some far away place he has never been to. Maybe it is the place of his forefathers. The place where his family was once from. Or it is just a trick of him mind, that allows him to dream. A confusing phenomenel concidence, that allows him to see moving bright colored picture inside his head. Something and somewhere that he will never know nor see.
The parrot will never be able to recall the dream later on in the day. It makes him sad, but he soon forgets it, and does not care.
The parrot wakes. The rays of sun make him happy, the feel of his dream. He squints up out the window, out into a quite suburb.
That knows of him not. That knows that he ever dreams, or sleeps, or lives, or wants. They do not know, about the parrot who dreams of far away places.
