Of

the yellow bird is back to the tranquil meadow where my soul finds a true repose, she didn't leave me.... I speak to her every day, she tweets back with glee! we talk about the illusory flamboyant days which tip-toed away in a veil, the glistening saffron-hued days when I was twenty-one, with trancelike beat in my feet, enthralling song in my heart, dreamy eyes unfolding beauty of love! with amber kindness in my soul, with tangerine hope in my voice, with azure grace in my walk, with vermillion exuberance in my dance. that twenty-one is never really gone, I still feel its demure whispering, the hope, the dream, the cadence, the beat, it's incredible! never left me! Yellow Bird, I know you come from afar, where aquamarine clouds rendezvous hazy mountains, where shimmering ocean splashes the ruby-red horizon, where chartreuse waterfalls descends on coral rocks like a symphony….. I offer you all my songs, my music, my soul, my dream, my hope, to carry it to your alluring land...truly amazing! And sing, and sing, and sing!

This poem is beautifully written. Yoou use colors emotions and actions with great reverence, and it is lovely. I loved "that twenty-one is never really done. I can feel its demure whispering". Just delightful in all ways!

Dearest Mala, the insightful, soulful beauty of your poetic artistry never fails to take my breath away. Your graceful pen spills so magically upon the page. I was swept up and away by your emotion and imagery, especially; "with amber kindness in my soul, with tangerine hope in my voice, with azure grace in my walk, with vermillion exuberance in my dance." Wow! I got goose bumps when I read that.. and I adore your last line too. Such splendid poetry, my sweet talented friend. Warmest wishes and hugs.. ~Susan

Hello Mala, there is this robin she built a nest in a hanging planter. I find her strange she comes and goes. gone for a day and then returns. the nest is still empty. i think that is odd. Love& frkiendship.

Dear Darlene, both of us love watching birds. I don't know exactly what bird it is ...sometimes comes to my garden. Thank you for reading the poem. Love ~ Mala

A delight to read. Great images you paint in your poem. How wonderful to be able to talk to a bird and get a response. I have not grow at all from inside. Deep within I am still a kid. I felt I was different, now I feel people like me exist. Thanks for sharing your wonderful thoughts.
