It's unique, it's exclusive, still it draws the mind towards it and later on catches atl the attention making it's presence felt clearly – blackbird song.
Wonderfully expressed, Marietta!
pure music. A direct hit to my heart.
Thank you for the lovely comments, and for sharing your own haiku in response. Much appreciated! Marietta
sound waves on light waves… love it!
How beautiful, Marietta! I agree with Alan about 'backlit'.
