If Only.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

 

If Only.

 

No tonic compares to dawn's rewarding
blackbird-sweet melodies spilling abroad.
Silence drips with explosion as notes bare
feathered soul-shards that pierce crystal air.

If only my pen could capture 

each droplet of sound 

as alchemy bottled in rapture

soaks bird's boundary 

with heard joy, if my passion 

roused by joining loud 

whistling to a poetic  canvas

could chorus its proud

aria my awe would take action.

Of all nature's trill- symphonies this bird's
throaty repertoire hastens me to rise early.
So with tuneful soliloquies stirring my sleep
I gratefully rouse and intend to drink deeply.

    Wonderful sound the blackbird makes it is there when I awake in the morning singing in harmony with the robin.

    "If Only....?" the most compelling question we all have - "If only ?"

    There is no way we could beat the harmony of nature, even the best composer would feel disabled.
