Midnight Birds
Posted On 04/15/2008 00:46:02 by timopheous

middle of the night

and birds still ring

the sun's gone done

yet still they sing

Midnight Birds, why do you sing?

the world is grey

and nothing can be gay

is it because you love the dark?

tis' not so, says the larch

is it because you love the night?

not so, says the sparrow in flight

Midnight Birds, why do you sing?

the world is misunderstood

and nothing can be good

perhaps you love the silent streets?

no, no, you've got it all wrong

that is not why we sing our song

please tell me why you sing so glad

and into the night that is ever sad

tis' because night does not last

and we know that it will pass

the dawn will come and vanquish night

so we can sing in a glorious light

Midnight Birds, I know why you sing

the world is bliss

and dont want to miss a thing

I love it, Tim. This and your last blog made me think of "Now let us rejoice in the day of salvation.. no longer as strangers on earth need we roam." Whatever this new light and optimism is, keep it. Work for it. Rejuvinate it and replenish it. Hope goes a long way. It can be just that glimmer on the horizon in a very dark night.


I feel like I want to tell you "I love you" right now.. (for anyone reading this, don't worry.. me and Tim go way back-- in person.).. I thought that maybe I shouldn't because afterall, this IS only a comment.. but you're not online right now and later when you actually are, I probably won't feel the need to tell you anymore. Lol.. so there it is.
