The Sound of Birds

Still of night..... 
Frog croak 
Early dawn 
The forest awoke 
New day born 

The reassuring twitter 
of birds on the ground 
examining leaf litter 
Bird sound 

Cheerful song 
from the hidden birds 
In the leaves 
Musical weaves 
Musical throng 

Haunting cry 
of birds in sky 
Floating on the air 
Feathers flare 

The sound of birds..... 
for what it's worth 
Too beautiful for words 
Here, on the good earth 

The sound of birds.... 
On the air.... 
The sound of birds.... 
Everywhere
