Analysis of The Meaning of Birdsong
What is the song
that the morning bird
sings
awaiting her love
from the mountain
springs
away and far
her memory brings
verses
from ancient dreams
Filling spaces
between each beat
a heart knows its own
captivity
longing to thaw
a tundra freeze
the flourishing
of love to believe
she carries the sunrise
upon her wings
