Robins’ Cardinals’
Hawks’ and Owls’ sweet songs replaced
By bless’d Waterfowl’s
My window is graced
I’ve thought to lure the song in
Would that be a sin
Robins’ Cardinals’
Hawks’ and Owls’ sweet songs replaced
By bless’d Waterfowl’s
My window is graced
I’ve thought to lure the song in
Would that be a sin
It is by Your grace
Health and strength live in this frame
May it honor You
Consider the heartbeat
The “Yes” of each pound
The hope in between
The thrill of its rush
The smile in its calm
The “Hello” of the first…and the last
He at His easel
paints us eternal, then breathes
and grants us Love Wings.
There is a particular someone
A nobody I know exists
If just in my mind
A jokester and kind, whose pure walk I cannot resist
I bid in vain -live in a new heart
Inhabit another soul’s plans
It’s my own fault I know
For each place that I go, I seek out that voice and those two hands
Bird friends bounce near ice
Like tick’ling piano keys
Willing it to melt
People, like prizes,
You have placed upon my path.
Please prosper these. Please.
I will surrender
To the crazy way you say
The concerted, intense
Way you say your nameI’ll first speak it out loud
Clear into your ear
You’ll tell me louder
What that makes you feelI’ll murmur it again
In a nonchalant way
A cool, collected
Nonchalant wayIf it’s the last thing I do
I’ll surrender you will say
A tiny lotus
Plus an open, airy-ness
And, I think too, us
