The Songbird

Dream-catchers share their song,
they flutter and gently sway  
to the soft sonata
of wind conducted toasts.

They clink like crystal does
when glasses meet,
percussively obliging a rhythm
while performing a tete-a-tete.

The songbird, though,
emits a concerto of its own
to please the chortled maestros
who sit serene and dream.

Let me drink the beauty in
like nectar, nourishing my soul.
Let my heart and mind renew,
in this early morning crescendo.

The songbird whistles through
the morning, warbling sound
to timpani the sun arriving,
above the drying dew.

We lie, entwined, as we observe
what starts the day of melodies,
and allow the songbird's message
to consummate

                  our sensual symphony.

    I've had a contest earlier this year with the title Songbird" - so this one caught my eye! There is a lovely flowing and dreamy quality about this poem and I can't think of anything lovelier or more satisfying that lying in your loved one's arms, listening to a songbird... those "morning songs"! I stumbled a bit on this line "They clink like crystal has in instances" - the sentence just didn't read well... perhaps you need to look at it again. But other than that, a most enjoyable poem with a soft sensuality about it. Thank you for sharing it with us in the contest.
