Nightingale

NightingaleNarrated by Alexandra Kuebler

Framed in moonshine

Feathers folded against the cold

Nightingale--my only companion

In the agony of my soul

Only you, nightingale, will

With undimmed fervor and heart

Throw your voice into night so still

Singing as you shatter apart

I deny the canary, thrush, and lark

Whose spirits only thrive in light

I’d rather break my spirit in the dark

As I sit with you here in the night

My pain is greater than words will allow

And the night stretches on everlong

Give voice to my sorrows now

Remembering them forever in your song
