The Songbird Sings
Twice the shadows descend
upon the ring of water, stagnant
Twice the high winds hurl heavy rain
awaits the Songbird's song
Breaking like fine crystal the songbird descends
upon the brown earth
The descent creates a stir, greater
Down, down the songbird
coils and retracts
Resistant to the downward push,
the songbird sings
taking in the glory
of its forgotten pleasure.
