Lindsay Laurie Poet Rhyme

Wild Birds

Despair, ‘tis my despair
that takes me to my garden sanctuary
where I disgorge my demons
that I fight emotionally.
Where colours more than black and white
produce a rainbow for my heart,
and melodies that fill the air
can mend what's torn apart…
I see them and they see me;
Do they know how they control? 
Wild birds
sing the venom from my soul.

Phyllis Babcock January 16, 2015 at 12:28 PM Nice to get rid of those demons amongst nature. Nice one. love phyl Lindsay Laurie January 16, 2015 at 9:48 PM Hello Phyllis... for me, watching the natural world go about its business does tend to take away the 'demons' and also puts a few things into perspectus. Thanks Phyllis - Lindsay
