Birdsong

Posted on June 4, 2023June 4, 2023

I hear the birds sing.
They warble and they bellow.
Their tune dances
through my window.
I am so inspired
by the noise they make.
The squawk of the crow.
The cackle of the kookaburra.
The screech of the miner bird.
I hang on their every word.
In my dreams I am singing
just like them

I am a voice in their choir.
I sing their soft chorus.
I sit in the trees
and fill my chest with song.
This is where I’ll be
and always belong.
You might hear me
out your window.
This is my birdsong

Michael Russell
