Beholding the sky, gazing at the ground -
The clouds cracked and the downpour started;
She watched as the gleams of sunlight departed.
Soon the violent wind replaced the breeze
And she grew cold; her shivering increased.
The day darkened as the light decayed
And those colours drearily began to fade.

Yet, somewhere distant she now fixes her gaze
At a sight designed to bewilder and amaze:
A bird singing and soaring in the rain,
Its delightful song a contrast to her pain.
Rapt in its song, it seems unaware
Of her dismal mood, as it glides through the air.
She listens quietly as it dreamily says,
‘This bleakness, a glimmer of hope can erase.’

The Birdsong

Topic: NaturePoetry

As she stood outside and glanced around -
Beholding the sky, gazing at the ground -
The clouds cracked and the downpour started;
She watched as the gleams of sunlight departed.
Soon the violent wind replaced the breeze
And she grew cold; her shivering increased.
The day darkened as the light decayed
And those colours drearily began to fade.

Yet, somewhere distant she now fixes her gaze
At a sight designed to bewilder and amaze:
A bird singing and soaring in the rain,
Its delightful song a contrast to her pain.
Rapt in its song, it seems unaware
Of her dismal mood, as it glides through the air.
She listens quietly as it dreamily says,
‘This bleakness, a glimmer of hope can erase.’

This is a masterpiece of writing. The content is delightful -- how wonderful to allow for the light of hope -- for the birdsong -- amidst the terrible thunder and the stormy wind. Equally -- (good word) -- I am impressed by the EQUAL division between the two octets. It reminds me of a thing that is reflected -- symmetrically -- as, for example, a boat on a lake. The two halves relate -- in shape -- the one mirroring the other; I'm afraid I didn't say this quite as I see it -- but... regardless of my meandering, you, ammar, stuck to your guns -- as it were. The piece is seamless: it is a Poem --flinthunter

Wow. that's amazing. It's beautiful. I like how you choose the birdsong to symbolized a glimmer of hope. Truly amazing.

Keep on writing.
