Bird of music, bird of light,
How sweet your notes of respite,
How blessed the hour, how blessed the morn,
That you purge and sanctify with song…
I hear your musical, poignant tune,
Singing for the world whilst in your own,
The note with secret wisdom to impart,
To the early birds and desperate, young hearts…
With each melody there’s a calm, an ease,
All wear and fear cast off, the new day to seize,
Nothing else can lift one’s spirit as instantly
as your Divine call, your tranquil symphony…
The dawn holds the balm to one’s soul, I can tell,
All one needs to do, is wake up and listen well.

Beautiful song of the bird Isha. I am blessed to hear them every morning, each time a different song they sing to make my dawn a musical one đâ€ïž

How lovely to hear a different tune each time… It’s the opposite here… I’ve heard the same tune ever since my childhood… The very same, sung every dawn, unfailingly!
Thank you for sharing such a lovely piece of information with me, Radhika! đđ

This is beautiful.. a lovely poem..đđ I remember a time when birds of all kind surrounded the house and used to merrily chirp.. But excessive urbanization has reduced the happy songs.. still whenever my garden becomes a playground for birds, I enjoy watching and listening their songs!!đ€

Thank-you Parth! You make a good point indeed… Urbanisation has replaced birdsongs with car-honks, blazing noises, sounds of wheels etc… Yet I’m glad you have your little haven of a garden preserved in harmony to welcome precious musical delights!
