Adrift In Starlight

I breathe your song into my chest then exhale dreams composed to rest in star-clad light. Your notes are freed from grave to sky. On clouds, they lull birds flying by in star-drenched flight. Leaves sway and hum both far and near, and missing you, birds flock to hear in starry night. Written 5/28/20 for Charles Messina’s Triple Stanza Couplet Tail-Rhyme Contest

Hi Andrea, I'm keeping busy with my kids. Summer is here and the virtual school experience is finally over, thankfully. My migraines have been a problem last few months. I go from pain, to medication fog, to irritable, back to pain. Oh well, can't complain when so many have it far worse.
