Come back dear birds,

the evening's shadow
barely grown
the childrens prayers
not yet begun,

the moon awaits
the nod of sky
to drape the stage
of black design,

the stars have yet
to shimmer round
the midnight matron
beaming proud,

the nights ensemble
courts the eye
the dwindling winds
sweet lullabye,

come back my friends
it's barely dark,
these eyes not groomed
yet for such stark,

have viewed horizons
rushed your flight
seeking respite
from destined plight,

can not the angels
shield the sorrow

of prophesies carried
to fear the morrow,

return to me
in candle's dance,
the tones of faith
the song revamped.

Ah, the birds - and the hopes of spring and summer upon their wings - and all the warmth inside and out that means - brought thoughts of longing and coming sweetness to my mind-

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

Applause!

I thought I was the only one who talks to birds....

A facinating poem to read on a frozen, Sunday morning, thank you for the poetical breakfest.

Wonderful, dear Michelle, and even rhymed to perfection ...

I am hearing a Spring tone in the birds' song these days. It seems too early, but the anticipation is in the air.

Great write really and highly enjoyed!

Love,
Margherita
