Bird Song












Oh, how I envy thee
To be so free...
To fly with silky wings
To view the world in all her splendor
To float upon a breeze

To sing a song of devotion
To serenade the sky
To proclaim my love as I dance
To hear the earth as she sigh's

I watched with pleasure
As she came to rest
In a wooden embrace

To her... I did attest
My most intimate secrets

To me... she did sing her empathy

    But you know what, I think it's because of humidity, birds in our backyard is not as much as they were a month ago. :-(

  7. Magic! The wish, the imaginary doing it, the talk and the empathy. Moving from an intimate "thee" to a "she," talking to her, to thee, and then we. Lovely moves. I wonder what she would say if you kept talking to her? That, I think, is a secret you dare not indulge.

    BTW: I just read the intro to this page and loved it as if a poem. How neat to scoop out strings of thoughts laced and tangled and deep.
