the lyrebird
in my father's garden...
autumn moon

sing to me, you
little beauty, the soulful
songs of joy

take me (on your
sumptuous wings) to the secret
places of the heart

Hi Lawrence,

The pantheistic lover strikes again! Do all of your poems take place in the Garden of Eden?

Do you really have lyrebirds in Austalia? They are incredible mimics!
Lawrence U. Apr 11, 2008, 11:27pm EDT
Thank you for your insightful comment, Ann dearest! The "Garden" is the fundamental basis of love and creativity - the main source of beauty and wellbeing.

Yes, we have "colorful" lyrebirds here and they never fail to amaze me. :)
Ann M. (Site Scryer) Apr 12, 2008, 8:15am EDT
Birds are my soul-symbol, as they fly to places we can't imagine. But here you have the lyrebird taking you inside, to your own heart. I find this very interesting.
Audrey F. Apr 12, 2008, 1:37pm EDT
