THE MUSIC OF BIRDS

as dawn breaks

everyone will raise a voice in their own way

the roar of forests in full gallop

the music of birds will make earth and sky resound

 

amidst a vast whiteness

while pitch-black solitude makes my heart tremble

beneath the sky’s blue garment

I will be thinking of you

 

as I ponder untouched mornings

amidst words written in no language

a green hand

a blue heart

one hand of mine is you

the other is me

 

your footprints cannot be contained anywhere

cast aside the shallow words that gnaw at our memory

awaken the mad love within your breast

do not be late for the tranquil harbor of our lives

 

life atop a flower is infinite

don the whispers of the ages

the time for waving from silent windows has passed

leave a poppy at my threshold
