Perched just
outside my window
whether clear, azure or cloudy
at the dawning of each new day
in the wake of shrouded trees
as he soars through rainbow thickets
among the glistening glow of leaves
With the vitality that only love brings
unfalteringly, he sings.
Each note at perfect pitch
in colorful staccato, full allegro clear
songs of nearby sunrise
after a stormy night of mist
Symphonies of tiny bright sparkles
for each diamond pearl of dew
in braided ribbon of hope
in the ring of fruitful promise
of radiant joy renewed
he sings
he sings a morning prayer.
Word
Notes
funny how one
letter can change a sentiment
running the gamut of the musical scale
words Like musical notes make tones
one letter and it's a new song
taking you to a uniquely different place
a letter can make a joyous parade
of present love, past or future
or maybe reveal a forbidden lair
some speak of despair or maybe satire
others clear the air
a sprinkling of the very same Nouns
and a showering of familiar verbs
conjoined and mixed
often succinct
can strike more than a million notes.
