Harmony Described    

 
Birds, flying commas; apostrophes
Write lines in the sky.
 
Black accentuations, flocked
Separate wings, feathers
 
Grouped, passed us by
In a shower of dark spots
 
Fallen from the ground
And landed in the sky.
 
Eyes and daylight combine
To mould this musical earth

Solid white cloud dots
Form a fragile bassline

Then, water on sand,
Seen as a felt melody.
 
 
Andrew Hider
