Blackbird
Wings woven
from glossy midnight.
Bright beak dipped
in dawn sunlight.
Planet eyes
with golden rings.
Voice of velvet
when summer sings.
Blackbird magic
on a twilight eve,
drink deep,
wonder and believe.
from glossy midnight.
Bright beak dipped
in dawn sunlight.
Planet eyes
with golden rings.
Voice of velvet
when summer sings.
Blackbird magic
on a twilight eve,
drink deep,
wonder and believe.
