Love Poem: Sanctuary

Sanctuary

Bird chatter echoes mutual greetings
psalms reciting Other’s praising morning light
promising their co-enrapture of return
before light fades to dusk this night.

Birds echo cathedrals of tree majestic chatter,
underflight of bees and insect buzz growing conjoined refrain
evening’s glad sung massive eulogy
consecrates this flying day’s compline, 
grace delight.

Liturgy of Earth flight song
echoes shattering light,
entering as exiting each shared dark mythic night.
