Wild Birds

The Tui opens his throat and sings
A beautiful sound that summer brings
Welling up from deep within his chest
Bursting forth his joy expressed
He begins at dawn with throaty trill
Greets the morn in unrestrained thrill 
Singing all day with nary a care 
Right until darkness in the still night air 
The personification of freedom is he... 
A lover of life living wild and free
