Birdsong

Hidden
In leaves of grime and grease
She blossoms her tunes
And livens our noons
With fragrance of jasmines at dawn
which tower over streets
Of asphalt and horns
And soars into clouds
With pollen on wings
That glitter in the twilight of dreams.

Holed into hours of targets and tasks
I search for her trail of feathers in haze
That light up my lamps at night.

Hello.
Visiting from The Poetry Pantry.

I like the imagery of this.
My favorite lines "She blossoms her tunes
And livens our noons
With fragrance of jasmines at dawn".

Thanks for sharing.

I can hear the bird, Abin! So often what is truly beautiful remains out of view, but we hear it nonetheless.

Ah, a beautiful lyric about the birds that make you happy.

A bird in the country is just another bird. A bird singing in the city is a beautiful gift.
Beautifully done.

beautiful images.. these lines are lovely:

She blossoms her tunes
And livens our noons
With fragrance of jasmines at dawn

a rare foray into the decidedly romantic...perhaps a welcome respite from my poems of urban squalor.
