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.

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
