A Nightingale Sings

A nightingale sings
And silently I listen
In the misty dawn
As the wood wakes from its sleep
And creatures begin to stir

breaking the ice
of eerie silence
to make its mate entice
jargons on and on from
the shrouded bower
is truly nice

nightingale tune
upon steeple limb
in cool of summer swoon

scarlet gauzy light...
lull waxing moon

There is a Nightingale outside the window
Sitting on the tree facing the moon
Singing a melancholy note
To the passing night

Branch-hugging cry,
Ancient, mournful tale,
Underneath the large sky,
Soul-filled singing, brown bird,
Pouring forth its heart,
Never to die.

The Early Morning

It was about 5:00 am.
The Nightingale was singing 
and dancing on the-
tree, green grasses on the river bank 
were whispering gently in the breeze.

Good deeds sinners do,
with a view to reach heaven,
bargain for a front row seat.


At an orphanage,
a donation is received;
the benefactor unknown.

Simply Love

I kiss you softly, and we hold hands
Our love brewed across two distant lands.
Where the nightingale shields the dove-
This is what I imagine as simply love.

Moon mounts up high, 
passion bird sings soft. 
Stringed love and pain tunes tie
in heart’s nocturnal niche. 
Darkness echoes thrill
through silver sky.

She Must of Been a Nightingale

She must of been,
A nightingale,
The way she sighs,
With a warmth,
Of,
mellifluous,
Waves,
That kisses,
Deeply,
the,
Love,
Within,
Your,
Soul

From the hued thicket of dawn 
flies the musical bird
in the sunburst sky, 
on the rhythm of its own song,
the whistling crescendo
of the nocturnal nightingale.

Social reformist Florence Nightingale -
her many good deeds make for a fascinating tale.
Not only a nurse was she content to be.
An innovative statistician was she.

nightingle warbles…
     gliding on its tufted veil
  to serenade trees

      songbird tweets fancier tunes ...

Snap me out of my dream now

Once upon a time, long, long, ago
A Nightingale sang to a nurse named Flo
The bird loved Flo and sang so sweet
So Flo took the Nightingale home to eat
How could anyone stoop so low

My love dawns for you,
sprays spectrum of keen yearning.
Would you fly in my hued sky?

Adorably lured,
wings’ whisper will sing for you, 
I’ll be your sweet nightingale.

Symmetry

in the symmetry of mountain ranges
the poetry of a cloudless sky
the lyric of the nightingale
the song of the sage
the dance of drifting tumbleweeds 
I see God's grace
I am at peace
