Cicada
Asked a favor
Of Nightjar
"Can you write some lyrics
For my song?"
"Ok. Imagination is stron-
-ger than the will"
Cicada cried
"That's not very long!"
"Neither is your song"
Replied Nightjar
"How about singing it
Like a mantra
Instead?"

Lovely the cicada's mantra is not that long although their life is. Loved the way you put nature in personified form into a clever verse of song and incorporated time this one is a fave
Thanks! It was fun to write too.
You are most welcome
Mutley, this reads like a fable for makers. Imagination over will, brevity over excess, and song becoming ritual instead of performance. Witty, economical, and instructive in the best way. Love it, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks a million. I learned the hard way about the limitations of the will!
You are most welcome! Me too!
