and some are jeweled lutes
some are elfins dancing
and some are magic flutes -
Bird songs! Fire-tipped harmonies
flame across far centuries
Some songs are bright wings glancing
by leaf-hid waterfalls
and others, eyes entrancing -
some are laughing calls
across strange space where starlight
streams go, little songs that bear our dreams
Some songs are flame-born whisperings
poets have spoken of -
but all are the time-harp strings
that God has struck - for Love
such charm and cheer came not by
chance -
God too, loves rhythm and romance -

photo was taken in San Francisco
a place that always adds
'a small song to my heart'
ah, and i like rhythm and romance as well...smiles
ReplyDeletethere is a nice jaunty, happy rhythm in this...you def have the song
in your heart...and pen..

Poem got several readings here. And yes, birdsong coming thru the window! Photo is great too --and familiar. I think the TransAmerica Pyramid from that angle puts you on Washington St., near the cable car museum.
