Dawn Chorus

May. 4am. Lone blackbird starts to sing

Defies sleep’s darkness, cries joy to new day’s light

Ripples notes of hope, calls all live things

To celebrate the end of long sad night

Dawn chorus swells, though soon rooks’ grating caws

Gives dark counterpoint to dream of hawthorn white

And wood pigeon’s soft falling cadence swiftly cloys.

Daylight grows. Bird song begins to fade

Grey clouded day says only the memory will last

But as I turn to fall again to sleep

Blackbird voice returns fresh new song is made

To sing life’s melody is not yet past

New plans, new joys, new promises to keep
