from the ABC set Poetry For Everyone

It's four fifteen
My weary eyes now open wide
Its not my eyes
But it's my ears that come alive
The sound of birdsong
Fills my room with sheer delight
A pleasant sign
That new day has come from night.

A nicer sound
Would be impossible for me
A sound so joyous
It translates to "I am free"
Be it Thrush or Finch
Or Blackbird, I don't care
I pray this sound will
Stay forever in the air.

Isn't it joy
To hear pure nature at it's best
My day can start now
With a feeling, I've been blessed
Gods alarm call
Puts my spirit into flight
A smile upon my face
My day will turn out right.

Sweet inspiration.

Cheerful, and nicely flowing. I so easily don't listen out for all the pleasant sounds, but the wind in the trees, or the waves at the cliffs really freshen up my mind. Rhiannon

I quite agree Edenfalls- I live for the Blackbird in Spring and Summer- my day really comes alive when I hear it singing from the rooftop. Such a beautiful poem that really speaks to my heart.

Hello Edenfalls,

God's alarm has woken me a few times but it has given me the opportunity to catch up on a few peoples work.
