I Hear The Robin Sing

resonating reverberating rippling sound energy everywhere

I Hear The Robin Sing

i hear the robin sing sweet

songs in tune with my soul

once to me a herald of spring

now even a winter companion

a herald of spring in my soul

a song in my heart- my mind

composing many bird symphonies

uplifting and endearing

music of soul and heart and mind

resonating reverberating rippling

into the cosmos forever

first here- then there-

there and there and there…

i hear the robin sing sweet

its song spreads into the cosmos

sound energy everywhere…

those able to hear its song

have their own signature sounds

spreading out in the cosmos too

sound energy everywhere

whether or not we hear them too…

Wings Up Wings Down

Birds In Flight…delighted I caught this moment…

Wings Up Wings Down

birds in flight

a common sight

i painted birds’

wings up

my lover painted

wings down

though we both saw

wings moving

both up and down

or soaring straight

then folded when

resting on the ground

he’s flown away

with his pessimism

i flew away too

still on the wings

of my optimism

still watching birds’

wings moving

both up and down

or soaring straight

then folded when

resting on the ground
