Bird Song

ember crystals flash across the sky
dawn draws open the curtain of day
the birds move up and start to fly
songs the echo calling all out to play

sweet trill of blue soprano keys
float above delicate alto melody
tenor edges fall from spring trees
while bass notes rise to the sea

dew clad flowers rise from slumber
leaves add chorus of hopes to prolong
rich iron ground colored dark umber
a perfect stage for the birds' song
