Big Bird Song

 BIG BIRD SONG


It filled the air,

        It filled my ears,

                It brought me to tears.

It was so big it split the sky,

        And I thought,

A song that big

        Must come from some magnificent

                Throbbing breast.

A sound that profound

Must come from some big bird,

        A firebird with flaming plumage

                And a ruby throat.

                **********

I searched the clouds,

        Following the sound,

                And there, near the ground,

I found the singing siren,

        A small brown bird

                Hidden in the brush.
