Beginning of May

Originally there was a song in my head
    It was not sweet, like candy,
but fresh, like wind through the trees.

Once I was drawn to the songs of birds,
    until I began to hear the harmonies
of leaves, dancing ---

    less, I suppose, what the birds
        were singing about
    than where they were singing from.
