From her delicate wings a fine powder exudes and lands on the ground
by the light of the blue harvest moon a touch of Pixie Dust, in nimble magic !
Harmonious weaving, intangible strands of music coming from the sphere
sweet and beautiful arias, melodious twittering from a fairy wing's enfold
Wings not made of nylon, cellophane nor iridescent tulle but made of silk
like spider's webs tough and resilient from the Master Spinners pedipalps
Appendage wings made from embryonic liquid from ejected Neutron Stars
like butterflies they flit and fly through air currents, landing on little twigs;
Fairy dust of old as ancient as the parallels from this world to the next
dare say I, ... if ever you have been subjected to their fairy dust appeal
then flying limbs you shall receive and like it or not you will fly away
inside a land of pure magic where every thought is like a sweet reveal
From her delicate hand a sweep of the wand resting easy on your shoulder,
one single dose is feathered on you and suddenly, you are able to hold her !

If I was any more relaxed, I would be melting
others are scrambling today
there are graduations all over the state
I am sitting in the shade with my two dogs
there is a bee overhead, she appears to be black
probably because I am staring into the sun
I keep seeing her fat shadow
In the distance I hear a twittering robin
If I felt like struggling, I could hear a truck or car
the guy next door just dropped something big
It must have been substantial, sounded like a two by four
This is the country
Our houses are three football fields apart
there is a whistle type whoop
another songbird
answering chirp
these fowl may be plotting my death
but I am too relaxed to care

Love is found when least expected. … by poet
Rudolph was strolling along a winding countryside lane,
humming a love tune. The clear sky shone bright, and merrily
bright birds were twittering as they flew from tree to tree,
whilst a brook was bubbling as it wended its way
to a river that flowed nearby. Still Rudolph was dejected.
Love, alas, had passed him by. Nature failed to attract him.
Despite his meanderings around the surrounding countryside,
he had not found his soul mate to make his life complete.
He was particular in his requirements, seeking perfection.
Suddenly, he took a different path towards the wide river.
There sitting under a willow tree, strumming a guitar
Rudolph saw the most beautiful woman of his life
Her eyes were closed, but Rudolph instinctively knew
they would be verdant like the grass she was squatting on.
Her golden tresses fell in gentle curls, her red lips inviting.
Could he have found his angel on earth?

Birds in the cherry trees twittering their song
Big fat bumblebees hum merrily along
Crickets in the hedgerows chirping all together
A perfect day in the month of May
With perfect springtime weather.

Dawn collapses night; the stars disappear;
the crickets fall silent, and Sol rises.
And ebony bleeds with a scarlet smear,
as Nature dons one of many guises.
A sea of blue washes across the sky
as sunbeams color clouds a rosy pink.
And while dragonflies flex their wings to fly,
shadowy silhouettes silently shrink.
While twittering songbirds sing to the sun,
butterflies fly from flower to flower.
And on silken threads that a spider spun;
dewdrops gleam in the early morning hour.
With one turn of Earth’s planetary gear
Dawn collapses night; the stars disappear.

Eyes are closed but souls are not yet
A wrap of white envelopes glow
Holding the four sides with a heavy toe
Darkness unbinds the weeping flow
A bed of dazzling flowers welcomes the white
Angels of love enchantingly bow
Birds twittering in the garden of glory
Daisy Dahlia and Camelia murmur to grow
The castle of fragrance invites the blossom
Fairies decorate the Garden of Grace
A white dove holding the innocent phrase
and the garden glitters as the beats become bitter
Tulip tweets and the lavender bushes
White dove with closed eyes flourishes flawlessly
Melodies of love welcome the innocent
Hibiscus hoovers and azalea utters a holy blow
White covers the courageous color
Asking Petunia now about the awful overs
Garden of Eden embraces integrity and futurity
The ritual ends with happiness and a glow.

Outside my window lives a chickadee,
he loves snowy green pine,
and has a family of about twenty-three;
he loves the snow and falling snowflakes divine,
and each morning the whole family sing for me.
Sometimes they scatter on clamous whirling wings,
off to a park nearby,
my heart is sad for their songs are like violins;
then, the beat of their wild swirling wings multiply,
they have brought home many, many friends I sigh.
On warmer days I bring them some seeds,
I put the seeds on my hand,
and am always in awe with their fluttering speeds;
I love each created by God delicate painted band
helping the birds helps me to grow and transcend.
They huddle together when it is very cold,
at times they lift a foot,
I think God not only gave them beauty but a soul;
each morning I must go to my window to have a look
I find them twittering, and tweeting in a clamor bruit.

Be the flowers that can heal -
A heart of charity never to seal.
Be the moon in the lonely night -
A dark cave looking bright.
Be the sky blue, lucid and clear -
A sea filled with love, a pure lover.
Be the sun that can burn all instant,
But inside nodding a tiny plant.
Be the star gleaming far to door -
Can draw the way a parted sailor.
Be the words of birds twittering -
Promise the cures to bring.
Be the cadence of a lyre -
Can feel the divinity far and near.
Be the morning still, and profound
Begins a day festive and sound.
Be the listener to your heart -
As no distinction between God and art.

I’m totally transfixed
I hold my breath
Tiny fledgling spreads its wings
Twittering parents are watching anxiously
will baby bird fly
I’m totally transfixed
My neighbour’s cat
Is prowling, ready to pounce
I hold my breath
Mother squawks loudly
Danger is now averted
Tiny fledgling spreads its wings

We all follow our destiny
A poet will write, what is right for thee
Whether chatterbox or Silent One
On our marks we are set
And follow fore ordained scripts
Since times beginning, begun
All birds shall take wing
Compelled to sing, twittering
To God as to Man
It matters not who
They sing their song to
For all will understand
Doorstep birds sing
Don't worry about a thing
Cause everything will all be alright
The sky will be blue
Under which nothing is new
And flocks will take graceful flight
Tall Skyscraper nests or
Empty Wilderness,
Audience of Man, beast, or none
Birds will be Birds
And Birds will sing
Until God turns out the sun.

Psalms 96:1 (KJV) “O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.”
Seas of twittering,
Tweets, gentle as noon,
Melodious uprising from the nest.
Colors like wildfire, glowing hues,
Erasing the morning mist,
Seas of twittering.
Songbirds risking twilight,
Before fireflies reveal the music,
Tweets, gentle as noon.
Listening, songs climb
Into the morning skies,
Melodious uprising from the nest.

the stream is flowing
and birds are twittering songs
a green field invites the sun
where lovely wildflowers
sway in a spring breeze
under a perfect blue sky
and clouds sail by
as I rest . . . awhile

"Snow loves the forest and trees that he kisses them, sweetly,
covering them in a white blanket, whispering, sleep my darlings."
Based on a Lewis Carrol Quote
A white swan in the falling snow,
bright birds on the branches clinging;
small birds twittering in a row,
the winter trees full of singing.
The cold forest wrapped in stillness,
from tree to tree birds are winging;
an eagle calls with a shrillness,
the winter trees full of singing.
And the white snow falls on and on,
the birds shrilling like a bell ringing;
oh, such a divine winter dawn,
the winter trees full of singing.
A white swan in the falling snow,
the winter trees full of singing.

I was wrong, terribly wrong.
I carried within me
memories of happenings
and rumours of fresh happenings,
that I soon realised
I'll never find peace until
In some profound eternity,
I can silence my soul.
Easier said than done.
For the mind continues delving
into the mysterious story of my life.
Grey clouds overhead
race each other,
threatening thunder.
What strange chemicals do they hide?
I hear the lovely finches twittering.
Are they near extinction?
A hunter's shot: some uselessly die.
I see fields covered with clover.
Do farmers use strange chemicals
to get a better crop? Do animals
who feed on the harvest
contaminate their innards,
so that we eat polluted food?
So my thoughts rumble on,
despite the silence all around.
Why can't I have silence in my soul?
