Twas a little bird,
so small your eyes struggled,
to find its origin,
but it voice carried,
like thunder on a still night.

Its song so sweet,
the breezes swayed with it,
gentle soothing intoxication,
Nature’s harmony of exquisite pleasure,
notes beating within a heart,
set at ease with its surroundings.

Under a tree you lay,
shaded in warmth,
under a blanket of serenity,
your eyes piercing the horizon,
of changing rhythmic motions.

Orchestra of your heart’s contentment,
a little bird serenades you,
as your spirit takes flight,
as the butterflies float before you,
in eyes fading, fading, ...

Awakened silence of the night,
a new pair of eyes are upon you,
searching for your presence,
the difference of night to day,
hooting its song to a moon,
in a crystal clear universe.

Crickets echoing in sublime bliss,
starlight in diamonds,
meteor shower melody,
warm breeze cuddling your soul,
the grand finale of a fine day.
