Because She Can



~*~*~*~*




Late at night
There is a bird
Perched high
In a camphor tree
Her song is beautiful
Melodious, peaceful
Perhaps she sings to her mate
Perhaps to her chicks
Perhaps to the stars in the heavens
I used to think she sang only for me
Until I realized she sings…

Because she can

    ... she sings... because she can... What a poignant way to phrase this, to point out that we don't need a 'reason' to be what we are, to share the songs of life, but just because we can.
    This piece is a joy to read, to feel, Lily

    I like this

    I truly believe you should enter contest....not for points or for cups..though you would be deserving...but because I think others here might be missing out on the beauty you sing....yes...you sing because you can...just as this song is sung to me...
