Sparrows

The sparrow, dart like, wrapped tight in cute Speeds lightly in the skin it's born with Spirals about with brown feathers that it owns Navigates Summer bushes, labyrinth like towards morning Branches wave hello on heavy boughs Weighed down in lumber towers Skimmed by sparrow wings in flight Dodging space and time, the passage ways of light They twist nervously, being shy and in a hurry Taking drinks from dew drops circularity Low in calories That is why they are so skinny Bound by no rules of dieting Flying comes naturally Seeds fill their world with joy Speaking through beaks is not for them Little birdies like to chirp Dart like and pretty singing

Hi Jan, It is nice to hear from you. I was watching them today while standing in the rain. I got caught in the rain, at a distance from my car, with no shelter in the park I was at. I am very clean now but I need another shower. There were also an army of large iguanas marching along the grass in the area where I was walking. It was spectacular. Have a wonderful day. Earl
