NIGHTINGALE’S SONG

A delegation of birds petitioned God
“Why is it you never chastise the nightingale? ”
God bid nightingale to speak;

“My way, she explained is different
March to June I sing
The other nine months, while others
Continue chirping, I am silent”

Sing your sweet songs beloved
While your Brethren clatter about
But know when to be silent...
That God may speak to you

(Inspired by Rumi)
