"The birds will sing for us." for A. K.


"The birds will sing for us."  for A. K.

The birds will sing for us.

They will say what you cannot.

What gets stuck in your throat,

will easily flow through theirs

and their song,

will be as beautiful,

as your intent.




                                             For my love, who loves birds.

  1. Hello Matthew,

    Such a beautifully simple idea and conveyed with equally fitting spare language. Nature in all its forms seems to us, without words, to be able to convey so many deep emotions. We only have to connect with them.
