a hummingbird sits
waiting for afternoon rain
chill under grey clouds

a flock of finches
decorate bare branches as
they sing in the sun

two small birds perching
on a branchy pinnacle
shining in the sun

The sun sleeps late on
the Winter Solstice morning.
Last long night promised.

Silhouette

backdropped by the sun
bird sits silhouetted to
gather warmth at dawn

#POETRY #THANKFUL

cold fire

orange on orange
the sun celebrates autumn
in flaming glory

morning ablutions
of a bird in a puddle
make concrete sacred

brown bird peeking through
a delicate green leaf veil
greeting the sunshine
