Where the wild birds sing

Yes, that is modified from CD title and song lyric. I can't help it, because there are just some lyrics that jump out at you and this particular group always chooses those lyrics for their CD titles. And then I know what song's for sure on there if I ever forget what's on what (two years without those CDs...I just might (shudder)). For example, "A Calling on Song" is on "Labor and Love", "Early One Morning" is on "Culled from the Garden", "Willow Tree" (I can't remember the exact title) is on "Like the Willow Tree", "The Trees they do grow High" is on "Daily Growing", "Pretty Saro" is on "Where the Wild Birds do Whistle", "We'll Camp a little While in the Wilderness" (i think) is on "And Then I'm Going Home", "The Blackest Crow" is on "The Blackest Crow" :), and "Wintergrace" is on "when Winter Calls". After that boring listing, you get it.

Anyway, I was originally going to share some poetry (?) with you, because I don't think I've done it in awhile. I don't know how you'll like this one.

Where the Wild Birds Sing
There's a place bequeathed to my memory
Where the wild birds sing.
And I will not see it for long,
Yet I know every stone of it.

There's a place where grass lies brown
Where the wild birds sing.
And the grass is crackling under my feet
But it feels of summer air.

There's a place where the sky is full of stars
Where the wild birds sing.
And the clouds are kept for winter
And the rain for autumn-time.

There's a place where the robin sings at dusk
Where the wild birds all sing.
And the summer air is calling
Calling all to come and join the song
Where the wild birds sing.


Anyway, I hope you like this. I really don't have much else to say right now.
