Bird

You grace the skies with fluttering beauty

tracing softest breeze with filigreed wings,

across peaceful valleys and turquoise seas

free you are, to my soul peace do you bring.

 

As night closes in comes the search for rest

trees beckon you down with their swaying leaves,

pausing in darkness, this end of days quest

blessed do I feel watching upon this eve.

 

With the morning dew comes the need to feed

eyes skimming the ground with perfect vision,

spotting a wee worm you've found what you need

swift is your descent with marked precision.

 

When I forget God's grace I scan the sky

and I watch your elegance, then I know why.
