If only I could speak in the tongue of the birds,
in leaf-whisper and stream murmur,
if I could split the air with curved beak and bent wings,
pad silent in the dark of under-earth galleries,
curl warm in the communal nest with grateful young,
if I could be the wind, the wave, the warble of life,
I would speak to you in rose,
kiss you in hummingbird,
sing to you in moonbeams,
and I would hear you reply
in the majestic, melodious mantra
of the homing geese.
That would be heavenly.
I’m working on it.
You gifted.
And that would be glorious
Thank you! I’m glad you like the poem.
WOW! Love this!
I’m pleased you like it, Laura 🙂
A wonderful reminiscence to the nature. Thank you for sharing, Jane! Hope you are well? Best wishes, Michael
Thank you, Michael. The sun came out today so spirits are raised 🙂
Funtastic Jane! Here we had the difference, cloudy and dark (like hell).
Don’t feel so bad, it’s like that most of the time here too 🙂 And wet!
Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Let me know if you work it out. 🙂
Lovely poem.
Thank you. I’m listening and learning. Maybe one day 🙂
🙂
So lovely ❤
I’m pleased you think so 🙂
This is beyond words 💜

You know I’m a huge fan of poetry about birds and this is one of the most beautiful I have read. Thank you dear Jane, your poems are always beautiful.
Thank you, Holly. Birds are hard to keep out of poems about beauty, aren’t they?
So hard to do , they come so naturally, those delicate little winged faeries.
They brighten my days. Such unconscious loveliness.
Indeed!
🙂
Gorgeous, as others have said. ‘Kiss you in hummingbird’ – what a lovely, fitting image that is
Thank you. As soon as the sun comes out the world seems better 🙂
How very true that is. I’m missing it already 🙂
It’s gone again. Chucking it down.
Sun is a rare commodity here at the moment – lots of rain and even a touch of snow yesterday! Still, been planting tulip bulbs, looking forward to spring already 🙂
It’s going to be a long winter, I think. Cold far too early. Bodes ill….
Let’s hope not 😦
😦
Beautiful voices, all. (K)
Thank you.
I’m loving this xxxxx
Sometimes the romantic side comes out 🙂
