John Beharry Poet Monorhyme

Tropical Nightingale

Perched on a sturdy branch on yonder tree
Pouring out your heart in sweet melody
With a full throated birdsong rhapsody
Filling me with such joyful ecstasy

Do you sing sweetly to woo your lady
Who listens somewhere on a nearby tree
Her heart must surely melt at the beauty
Of the song you sing so effortlessly

Is your song a joyful testimony
To honour nature's musical bounty
Given to creatures from earth, sky and sea
Whose music blesses all abundantly

Or is it part of a profound mystery
Heralding a supreme divinity
Which pervades all silently and deeply 
O bird, I'll ever be grateful to thee
