Listen to poem:

Birdsong

Birdsong

I want to hear you sing again
Your song I miss
That smooth refrain

Too out of reach
You're way up high
As distant as the Summer sky

In moments of my solitude
You fly away
If e'r pursued 

So here I sit
To close my eyes 
Let the present moment rise

And meet you there
In cloudless skies 
The song that no true heart denies.

Beautiful poem. Love the conclusion, "And meet you there In cloudless skies The song that no true heart denies."

Jay.. thanks for taking time to encourage me. I think we have all been swept up in those bird-like imaginings :)
