If Only.
No tonic compares to dawn's rewarding
blackbird melodies fondly spilling abroad.
Silence drips with explosion as soul bares
un-taught notes ready to pierce crystal air.
If only my pen could capture
each droplet of sound
as alchemy bottled in rapture
soaks festering,
mood of doleful feelings
and doses joy into morn or eve
invoking my mentals
to note chorus and sing aloud.
.
Of all nature's trilled symphonies a bird's
throaty repertoire hastens me to rise early.
So his ancient soliloquies stirring my sleep
I gratefully rouse and intend to drink deeply.

Ahhhh once again you waken to the sound of the birds yawning in preparation to the start of their morning fanfare.
What an early bird you are yourself committing to site another of your wonderful 'doses' of morning glory bringing, yet again, a smile to the face of us 'later arising' mortals.
A pleasure to read.
So glad you enjoyed the read and thank you for this rousing comment on morning glories D.A. - - I only wish I could be a regular early riser.
A fine write Fay.
Thank you Orchi - - mornings have always been a favourite time of the day for me.
I agree a fine read that just left my mind at ease. Thank you kindly
How lovely to know my words on birdsong have eased you my friend - - thank you for telling me.
there is something grateful about a bird singing its notes in the morn.
I so agree Pauly - - a bird singing at dawn despite weather vagries sends out pure notes of peace.
do you ever listen to the crickets at night.
I cannot remember ever hearing a cricket Pauly - - I have listened to frogs and toads at night though.
well crickets sound a lot like birds at night.
I used to live in a tent in the woods. and I went night fishing a lot.
them frogs and toads sound so much a part of nature.
Thanks FAY ~ Loved it and a great Poem to 'jump start' Tuesday ! There are MOOD POEMS to express MOOD and TONE POEMS inspired by Music & Visual Art. This is beautiful TONE POEM inspired not by an Al Fresco String Quartet in TINTAGEL but by the Blackbirds heralding another beautiful Cornish Dawn Yours as always BRIAN. Please check my poem "FUSIONS" and my FUSION on Prayer ~ THANKS B.
Yes the wonderful dawn chorus and later singing of blackbirds gives all the tone we need to spend the day wherever we live in this beautiful island. Thanks for your input to my poetic efforts dear friend.
Absolutely beautiful as you are Fay!
Your warm hearted comments always give me a lift dear friend and a reason to write and post as often as I can on this site that favours expressive poetry. Thanks a load for your kindly support.
What a wonderful write, I wake to the sound of blackbirds and robins starting Natures daily symphony, such a wonderful sound as are your words.
What if? The most profound question that we ever ask ourselves.
Yes dear Goldi we can share the same bird-songs all over this island and give thanks for their zeal in singing to first light. Sp pleased you enjoyed the read.
