A Heartfelt Prayer
Engrave your whistles morning birds,
So every clock is useless,
And let me awake to your hirds,
For dawn is always more or less,
That invitation to all the words,
Spoken from the a sunless,
Sky waiting for when moon,
Vanishes behind cloud curds.

A delightful prayer, Gillena. I love the opening lines and the way the moon ‘vanishes behind cloud curds’.

I like how you directly address the morning here, Gillena. The birds that make clocks useless and the cloud curds such creative thinking and imagery.

Morning is often the best of the day... especially when day is too warm to enjoy.

loved how the birds make the clock useless. How it ended in cloud curds is delightful!
ReplyDeleteI agree, birds do a better job than the cold alarm clocks.
