Birth of a Song
Orange clouds against a lavender sky
Underneath a wonderful flowering field
She sits with an umbrella in hand, with a wishful little smile
And a twinkle in her eye,
Red raindrops begin to fall
Her white dress shimmers with an Inner Light
As she casts her umbrella aside
Dancing with the rain and the sun’s blue light
Laughing merrily
A swarm of fireflies join the fun
Coming out with the setting sun
As the lavender sky becomes a deep sea green
And billions of stars can now be seen
Tired from her time of play
She sits and rests for the night
The fireflies form a circle
Bathing her in their soft light
Dew forms a blanket, that softens the light
The birds start to call softly in the night
Their song fills the world
With a wonderful sweet, sweet sound
A shimmering haze of music starts to form
Filling anything until every thing’s found
The song floods the sky and permeates the ground
It fills the spaces with a magical sound
When it reaches her sleeping form, curled up on the ground
Her heart mind body and soul are filled with that sound
A song that’s taken a life mind and soul of it’s own
Needing only a human voice to be sent home
She awakes from her peaceful dreams
Filled completely with the song of life
Awake and alive filled with wonder and joy
She gives the birth cry to the goddess of song
The birds fell silent
And the crickets, too
They knew what had happened
And you would have, too
The song raced over the each and through the sky
Into the heaven where the fat gods lie
Into the depths of the 9 hells below
Where no human should ever have to go
A being of song so pure and so free
Was loosed upon the world of you and me
As she covered the globe with a rose hum
She returned to the animals from whence she come
The birds began to sing once again
Their cheerful melody
And the crickets joined in their playful symphony
And back to that girl who was staring at the sky
Her green eye all bright and wide
The song resident in her heart
Where her blood belonged
And from that day on she was a spirit of song
