Songs of the Blue Birds
A Vision of Spring and Eternal Light
Blue birds rise through morning veils,
their wings cut the sky like fire made visible,
their voices pour forth the language of stars,
calling the hidden worlds awake.
🐦⬛
Flowers tremble under the vast sun,
each a bright eye of the earth,
drinking the unseen rivers
that run beneath all things,
that move the roots of mountains
and the hearts of men.
🐦⬛
A tide of color moves through every field
and in its current the soul recognizes itself,
not as flesh,
not as shadow,
but as the eternal song
that walks upon every wing,
that sleeps in every crimson flame.
🐦⬛
Blue birds scatter through the light,
messengers of vision,
bearing the seed of wonder
in their beaks and claws,
in the secret corners of the air
where time bends and eternity listens.
🐦⬛
All creation trembles with the same joy,
a trembling that is neither fear nor sorrow,
but the pure, wild energy
of beginnings,
of the first hour,
when heaven and earth knew themselves
as one.
🐦⬛
Spring stands, naked and radiant,
her hair streaming with wind and song,
her eyes like molten sky,
calling every soul.
Rise,
be as the bird,
be as the flower,
be as the world that blooms
without end or beginning.
🐦⬛
And the blue birds ascend into themselves,
vanishing into vision,
leaving only the infinite
where all things are born
and all things are loved.
