Before I BeginHesitant. My fingers,
scrape upon a string,
that sings of you. Before,
I begin, I can hear,
the beautiful scrape,
of hes-i-ta-tion-
I can hear the si-lence-

Hesitant. My finger,
scrapes upon a string,

Sighs of susurration sunder the silence ~
The neem tree swaying in the wind
An old lady yapping like a non-stop chatterbox
The roar of the road hero's motorcycle revving past

Almost
I move closer
to decipher the sound.
It is the wind blowing across
the lips of the morning
moistened by melting frost.

Cheery Chirps
Chirps
of wrens

You can hear them
as they croon their tune.
They compose a chorus
transcending the evening moon.
Singing rhythmic modulation,
joining with angels and golden harps,
they harmonize in glad celebration....
