Light and Whimsy
Virginia Salter

as morning began its rise,
a lyrical tune floated on the air,
of bird song, light and whimsy
were elements of its fare

day, gloriously bright with sun,
wakens the soul of me
to write, to sing, to shine
neath this azure canopy

I, as if a bird a-wing,
could soar aloft or rest
with lilt and delicacy
in a feather-laden nest

might you join me in this hour
we could dance the day aglow
as butterflies or doves
with not a woe in tow

to sing our heart’s content
spread cheer all around
lighting up the eyes
of those captured by a frown

Very nice

thank you PM, eye and insect

I definitely like waking to bird song, especially when it's not the crows auditioning for The Birds

Somehow the same message got posted twice, so I'll edit this by saying what I had intended to add to the 1st reply to your replies.

Tonight, I was serenaded by a horde of crickets when I was out moving the sprinkler. It was a lively sound.

Should we greet each day with this frame of mind, there is no telling what we could accomplish. With the glass half full, I salute your wonderful poetic gift.
