The birds that chirp before flying

The sun and the moon And the stars and the sky The laughter that bursts In the birds that chirp before flying The water that brings A saviour to life After looking down At the flowers now blooming The essence, the ingress Seeps through the room’s open window The day sees the sun Shining brightly […]
