Sing along

Rainbow in western Weld County, Colorado (2016)

I had front row seats to the concert. The stage was an old weathered fence post and on stage was one of my favorite solo performers, the western meadowlark. I love their melody but I honestly do not understand the lyrics to their song. So, I listen with my heart and use my gift of imagination. What if their song is letting the world know of the joy they have with life and the desire to share that joy. Then again, they could be asking us to stand in awe and wonder of those clouds placed on the horizon by the Creator. My heart agrees, it is a masterpiece today. Yet, maybe the song is an invitation to return again tomorrow for the finale. And, then the rainbow appeared, a symbol of peace and serenity, and a promise that more is to come. The meadowlark finished the concert and headed to the next one or maybe to practice. Yes, I will return and maybe even sing along.

Retired. Having fun shooting Fujifilm cameras. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Now I might just be willing to buy a ticket to watch and listen to you and the meadowlark do a few numbers together. 😀

    Lovely sky and rainbow.

    I’ll have to look up the Western Meadowlark’s song vs. the Eastern we have here. I remember one spring just sitting in a field listening to their songs around me. Great performers indeed!

      There is a difference in their songs but they are so similar in looks. It would be difficult to differentiate between them by sight. Their song is very repetitive and maybe that’s what I like about them. But, most likely because it seems to be a happy song.
