One Song Leads to Hope

A lyrical poem

There’s one bird whose song is telling her love to a fresh morning sky stationed on a branch of eternity

The air cooled by a hushed breeze welcomes her voice over the thinning veil transcribing the trill into a holy melody

There’s one bird whose song is telling her story to only those with hearts that hear

The warbled staccato punctuates and defines each branch tenderly touching the the sweet subtle singing to show her sincere intent

What is it about a lone voice carried by solitude over a morning’s opening that brings the song’s message into enhanced clarity

Perhaps it is the sound of uncharted love being birthed with the rise of a new day and gifting the soul new hope
