Words can't can't convey every thought, feeling, or experience.

THEIR PRAISE IS PERFECT! THUS OUR GOD HAS ORCHESTRATED AND TAUGHT THEM 'SONGS' THAT GIVE HIM GLORY WHICH ONLY 'HE' CAN UNDERSTAND...AMEN. FINE WORK, THANKS JOHN. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

This quiet and soulful piece brings melancholy thoughts for this reader. When I taught acting in Hollywood, I had a favorite exercise: Gibberish communication. No words, per se, but sounds of mixed vowels and consonants that could tell extraordinary stories. Just as your premise of birds does for those who listen carefully to the poet's insight. Well done, John. Another plea with simple focus, but profound potential. Between Australia, Brown University, and the Reiner homicide, your poem was a welcome poultice for the inflamed heart and mind this morning.
