Silence …
All there is to hear
For an insomniac soul
Fragrance of dawn
Wafting on the breeze
Before the night disappears
Curlew...
A lonely bird song
Seeping through the mist
Midnight cloud of dew
Floating near and far
Searching for home
Melancholy...
Lingering tune echoes
In the dead of night
Crying a wistful plea
A prayer for The One
To be reclaimed
Twilight…
Holed blanket of hope
Curlew wipes her tears
In a stone cave retreat
Where she finds peace
Hiding from the light

The song of the Curlew is the most beautiful thing you could ever hear. I've searched for the right sound on YouTube and I was surprised that the Egyptian Curlew sounds different from the rest of its own kind around the world! Such a unique and mysterious creature.
I hope you enjoy the video in the media. The scene in the video is from the Egyptian countryside and it's even more enchanting in reality. It certainly evokes so many emotions and memories.
Please, listen to the bird and tell me how it made you feel...
