I've heard birds sing beautifully before,
Can't tell why it sounds different this noon.
The songbird exudes the notes from every pore;
I too join in whistling the haunting tune.
It sings of the peregrination along the track
That twists and turns through the dense jungle;
Sings of the harm that descends on its back -
Its escape makes it thankful and humble.
For the bright sunshine after the heavy rain,
The songbird's melody drifts with the breeze;
For the plants and trees bearing fruits and grain,
Other birds' notes the songbird's shelve and freeze.
The strains are vigour to my sore feet;
Strumming of soul's strings, they sound so sweet.
