If the songbird should lose it’s sweet song
and silence descend heavily upon the land
should we ask it to fly away never to return
or treasure the melodies of a joyful past

Should we mourn the passing of it’s lyric
and launch it into the sky on golden wings
a funeral flight befitting it’s magnificence
forgetting forever the beauty of it’s notes

Or embrace the echos in the deepest soul
revering it’s symphony with a wistful nod
murmuring gratefully for each treasured memory
of the songbird that sang to the heart

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

This is a poem to be treasured, as well as the lovely song from a songbird.

Dear G.  This is a much lovelier way of saying,  "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." There is more to the bird than its song.  Thanks for the reminder.  Joyce

Pegasus~
How lovely this morning song~
Lifting of spirits felt in the thoughts~

'embrace the echos in the deepest soul
revering it’s symphony with a wistful nod
murmuring gratefully for each treasured memory
of the songbird that sang to the heart'


I could not help but think of the 'songbird' in the hauntingly beautiful 'Skylark' ... oh, what memories you've stirred on my stage of orchestrated memories~

pegasus111:  I think that even if birds were mute, we'd still enjoy having them around and make up songs in praise of them.
