Song Bird

~~~~~

I wish I had the words to knit
a glorious scarf
to wind around my throat
and warm the voice of god

I would sing a song most holy
to make the heavens open up
with sunshine and shadows
of every color

Then I would dance
with my hips swaying in the wind
until I caught the rhythm
and flew away to heaven

~~~~~

this is a lovely write, and this prompt is beautiful-but my contest specifically asked for a response from the picture prompt I provided. Usually it doesnt bother me one way or the other-especially when the title is offered, but I didnt do that this time.

I did enjoy reading it, was a bit refreshing after reading a few of the more dour responses. Thank you for taking the time to enter-hold on to this, I will be posting a prewrite contest very soon.
Love,
jin

Serene and lovely. I agree with charcoal - a Sufi saint, indeed. Good luck in Jin's contest, Scribe.
