Like a birdsong life sweeps me under a blue sea
A vision of Italy
Through the years, through the tears
I have lived and died, secretly loving you
The dew after a long day of work
The way you look at me and smile and everything feels good
I close my eyes and drift off and wake up in a dream
Unhooked from my roots, my shell, my wings, my weeds
Like a birdsong
I fall back in love
With you
A blossom in an ocean
A dandelion in snow
I water the flowers that grow from my mind
Disfigured
By the scars of violence
I water the flowers so I can watch them
Grow.

‘ like a birdsong I fall back in love with you ‘ beautiful line )) good poem
Ty for reading Violet, take care this winter season
Here in Texas we call the nightjar the nighthawk. Have you ever witnessed their amazing dives? A pair will be flying along hundreds of feet in the air, then one of them will suddenly dive down at a breakneck speed, only to pull up out of the dive just at the rooftops and treetops, with an incredible and unique whirring sound from the wings and tail against the air.
I think it is maybe a mating thing, or just for fun. But it is as earthy and essential as you and your poignant ditties.
Yeah, they're my favourite species of bird (I like robins and magpies too). I've studied and relate to them an awful lot, being nocturnal myself. Btw, I accepted your friend request. For some reason I thought we had already befriended each other here, but apparently not. Thanks for reading + take care, as always.
