The Sound Of Birds

from EP#1 by Kirsty Venters Marks

/

about

There is no music more amazing than the sound of birds.

lyrics

Walking past the field as the silence broke
The wandering geese left the ground anew
We heard the sound of wings before they spoke
In chorus, in formation as they flew

And poetry is limited by words
Poetry is limited by words

The voice of the buzzard echoes and rings
Circling and looping in curlicue cries
Wide above the valley on high-pitched wings
The world mute below as the hunter flies

And poetry is limited by words
Poetry is limited by words

Then four great swans arrive across the lake
Whooping low and painting the air with white
We hold our breath to hear the autumn wake
The feathered rhythm of the bold swan flight

And poetry is limited by words
No boundaries can hold the sound of birds
