Outside my window the birds twitter.
No bitter
Singing from those who live, yet know it not.
Their lot
Is a happy one,
For they are here then gone
Without foreknowledge that the sky will darken.
I will harken
To another song.
The long
Summer nights have arrived.
Why do I strive
For delights
Of a different kind,
When I find
In the birds
A truth surpassing words?
As I read the word “twitter”, the song Carmen by Stromae popped up in my head…
Thanks for your comment. I dont know the song, but will find it on Youtube and listen to it. Kevin
Do that, it’s french. That is probably why you don’t know it. Nom
Ah, that would probably explain it. Unfortunately I only speak English, however I will still check out the song. Kevin
I am not very well versed in French either. I have some basics, but I am not nearly as good at it as with English.
Yes, your English is good. I guess your native language is German?
Exactly.
