One wee bird A nod from You I see you I love you I’m here
One
Seen
Good morning you Your sweet tiny tweet Pulled me from my office To the front room window To find you Common little tree swallow Uncommon and precious to me I see you I do
Little Feathered Friend
Little feathered friend With your Pre dawn song You’re awake (so am I) And I’m grateful for your company Our frail and common creatureliness Binds me to you in gratitude Your song now saving me From Restless distressing thoughts I’m aware of you Dear one Are you aware of me
Dog Walk
I walk the dog and the dog walks me I walk the dog and the dog walks me I walk the dog and the dog walks me Free I see a bird up in a tree I see a bird up in a tree I see a bird up in a tree Free
Before Dawn
Before dawn Before! A chorus of birds greet the not yet sun Confident in their Creator (who orders all things well) That it will rise (the sun) And so must I Greet the day with Faith Hope Trust Joy Confident expectation
Matin
Tiny little bird way up in the tree I see you Do you see me?
Two geese
The two geese returning yesterday Were a singular comfort to me Spring is still coming They are not worried Consider the birds of the air
