Breaking the long black silence

they shyly sing

  "darkness be gone

   darkness be gone"

 

ancestral melodies

stir the still damp air

   "light will come

    light will come"

 

tiny shining eyes

watch from the trees

    "see it rise

     see it rise"

 

blazing white halo

lifts into view

   "hear us sing

    hear us sing"

 

unified euphoria

starts another day

   "now we fly

    now we fly".

This poem takes us out of the darkness and into the light - I think we could all do with a bit of that - It's our facebook and twitter pick of the day.

This has made my day. Have been a bit blue myself so I'm glad this poem has had a positive effect. Thank you.

Found out this morning that this poem will be published in a charity book for The Wildlife Conversion Society.

Just wanted to share good news..

Musical and delicate without shallowness. You’ve walked the tightrope expertly.
