Evening Well Spent

Where did you fly off too bird, the trees where your babies live? New camera was out of focus, but I heard the squawking loud enough. Mother came out ringing the dinner bell; did she know of the crimson sunset? With the sound of birds in my ears, I ran to the rice bowls, hot and ready. Chopsticks in her hands - she first asked how I fared in my adventures. The birds were quiet, the sunset now violet; I ate it all, but was still hungry for the woods outside.

Timothy, you are lucky that you hunger for more than material bodily food! Nature and its beauty can provide ample nourishment to those with fine tastes! A 7 rating for you. // paul

This is so very cute. When you're young the world is such an amazing and adventure place to wander. Disappointing when you're called out from a place that brings so much excitement to reality.

When you are little every little thing is a new experience... I believe that's why a whole 24 hour day seemed like so much longer back then. But maybe we can keep our childlike wonder by trying new experiences :)

Very good, those babies are always hungry no matter what time it is, and nature is always peaceful no matter the season. 7

What is life but a balance between nourishment and exertion, exchanges betwixt love and new wonder. I love the Mother spirit in this poem, the soul quest is so subtle with mystery Timothy. This poem means a lot to me for I listen and watch the outside much. J.A.B.

Glad it resonated with you, friend! This poem of mine was simplistic in language, though I aimed for subtlety, and alluded to something grander.
