Birds Sang Symphonies
Hidden deep within me
Dwelt joy I never knew,
That chose to reveal itself
The moment I met you.
From depths I could not fathom
Arose a raging fire,
Smitten by your beauty
My heart raced with desire.
An uneventful life I'd led,
Each day passed in its turn.
Love then called upon me
Unleashed, my passion burned.
Colours seemed more vibrant
Birds sang symphonies,
Somehow the sun shone brighter
My waiting heart, now free.
For love I had doubted,
Was in the stars for me.
Yet here was I, ecstatic
Amid love's sweet mystery.
