Simply Birds

Simply birds chirp, chirping in song,
belonging to a cloudy day.

Simply birds plink, plinking paradisaically.
Wee angels with harps in their wings.

Simply my teeny, tiny forest at play.
Tweets twine like ivy, inviting a smile.

Simply the sweetest sound of mirth.
Sans birdsong, saddest silence on earth.

'wee angels with harps in their wings' - a delicate, memorable line, Kim. And you are so right: Sans birdsong, 'saddest silence.' ~ Gershon
