mockingbird











Twitter away little bird
from your perch

outside our window.

Ah, lovely how the sun shines
on your expectant little beak.
Pant away, little twitterer
here is a crumb and a kiss.

The windows sparkle
oh so clear
peer in at lovers
twitter twitter
entwined
twittering
love of the soul.

Allow your thoughts to wander

twitter, twitter mockingbird

would you like to play?

The field is green
the fruit is ripe
and there is plenty of room
in this cage.

Sometimes a cage looks good when all the other birds are inside and you are on the outside looking in. But a cage never looks as good as it does when updraft on the wingtips carries you in a graceful upward spiral away from your cage.
