Songbird in my front yard feeding on seed I've thrown I can see you because I have become part of the silence... Each day I learn from you as the fish learn from the sea the Sparrow and the Blue Jay learn from the wide open sky.. Mockingbird I am lonely today chant your melancholy in the still air call for your lost lover making the stars smile and your mate to sing back.. Tonight I will chant for my lover as I look for her in distant stars perhaps they are all just nests of celestial invisible birds... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
