singing

That mockingbird might be

the only one singing in the moonlight.

On brighter days,

his song will change.

 

I've never yet

heard you asking him

where his notes come from.

. such a gorgeous gem ... with so much left unsaid ...
. but it made him speak ...

I love this. I like the simplicity of the imagery and where you take us- to the source, the song and a question.

Perhaps he's mocking our silence? Our not asking? I like this!

[Amen_Poppies]

Love this... I love to sing!

Amazing how we always deconstruct and analyze our own creations, when we are willing to accept natures beautiful achievements are just so.... asking would of course spoil their mystery.

very beautiful, the things we never ask can haunt us.

How many of us ask at all...

I love how you are able to capture nature so exquisitely. The wonder of the mockingbird and of all birdsong, very poignant.
