if you wake to the sound of birds
singing a harmony, lyrics known only to them
ssshhhh
listen close
close your eyes
open wide
set your spirit free
you'll feel the beauty of their song
feel its warm steady beat wash over you
..... you'll hear their secret song for what it is

it's a song to celebrate life
a witty little ditty
in anticipation of the rising sun
a cheerful fare thee well to the lonesome moon
a cheerful hello to who ever bothers to listen to their song
a beautiful ode to the mother of all things

i hope that for just one moment in time
time freezes for you just as it did for me
and if it does....
grab a hold of that smile
remember the beauty of this simple song
hold it close
don't let go
and share this secret
to the one that needs it most
