God Gave Me

~ God gave me Robin and collared dove ~ This morning To sing ~ Of love And divinity. ~

In the Cold and in the Darkness

The news Is that this morning ~ A robin Was singing ~ Outside In the cold ~ And in the darkness And it was beautiful. ~

Teach Me That Love

I recently stayed in a house where house martins had nested under the eaves, right by my window. The parent birds repeatedly flew in to their young with food, showing such dedicated love, and inspired this poem. ~ The house martins Teach me ~ That love Will keep on loving ~ Speedily Abundantly Unendingly. ~

Wondering

~ Sunrise Through the mist ~ Beauty Kissed ~ The earth So full of suffering ~ And a few Souls ~ Noticed Wondering. ~

Out of Darkness

. A single robin Sang in the night . As if this trickle Of song . Might some time Out of darkness . Bring Light. .

Ready to Fly Anew

Creature Creation Creative . Web Nest Human work of art . And deeper The mystery Of the human heart.

Cormorants

The cormorants Haunt . The flow Of the river . As if prehistory Were today . And we still walked A mysterious planet . Pregnant With terror . Crouching for comfort In caves. .
