Song of mimicry
Something old; new; borrowed; blue 
His charm beckons me

Evocative skies
Spread over with mournful cries

Quietly watching
long moon shadows in stillness
Wailing to the night

Summer stirs awake 
A curious cockatoo
Chews the drying wood

In translucent clouds  
Spring's final breath caresses
Warm embers of light

The vast morning sky 
captured in sapphire dew drops
on daisy petals
