The Bird

There is a bird 
inside your heart
that's singing to the moon
all melodies 
of lives around you
friends around you
and all you cherish

Just listen to the bird
when it does not whistle
but sings a melody
or talks
or whispers
desperately
sad songs in your ears

Sometimes it sings sad songs that I can't get out of my head. It appears I had missed a number of your poems, I am so glad I stopped by today to read them. Have a most excellent day Hanitra. Blessings and hugs to you.
