For the Birds I

After mid morning coffee will stretch out to the store My piano to fetch spread my fingers by a fine degree You're invited to bow a little for today all honour must go to the birds It will be a melody of gratitude to the aves given us by heaven For their everlasting beauty upon earth Upon the inspiration of blooming flowers Birds take to the skies in radiant plumes bejeweling the everyday dome with enviable patterns, copied from millions of miles away So here I hit the beats of beauty for the birds to complement the fine melody of a bird-song that invites daybreak and adorns dusk like fine wine up the hills, making man suffer loss why was such beauty not given him? Bringing tidings of peace from your world O birds whenever man gets crazy wanting to own your world of colourful fruits, sweet grains and plumes of pride You hover over his head, looking up, sees his folly, Repents Long curved beaks,short bills,sharp, obtuse and your blessed fore limbs, the sails for your voyage across oceans and lands All you will ever need You know how lucky you are! You love it, I sing it Echo my tune like the baobab Will you? This got to be a melody of kind wishes for all the birds of skies and seas
