The Birds Are Singing

The birds are singing in the rain Wet wings, gray skies, they don’t refrain They wait for the food I give them Songs brighten this hour like a gem Brighter than this one darkened day Problems float quietly away The birds are so happy right now Nothing matters to them somehow Happy in the hard pouring rain Negativity is restrained Peace falls from the skies upon me I listen, so calm I will be *8 Syllables per line Heidi Sands

This is so beautiful and filled with the wonders that we can find if we just look out our windows once in a while. Heidi, I have many feeders where I live and love watching the birds, rain or shine. They always seem so happy and I often feel they hang around waiting on me to fill the feeders and consider me a friend. I know that's dumb, but, that's how I see it sometimes. :)

Hi Chris. Thank you! You couldn't be more right - if we just look out our windows - There are so many wonders that make the moments very special. That is great you like to the feed the birds as well. They do seem 'so happy'! It is not dumb at all being a friend to the birds :)

I agree totally w/Victor. A gorgeous poem, Heidi. I feed the birds everyday in winter time here in Michigan, so I can really relate to this poem. Love and blessings to you. RW

Hi Freddie. Thank you. I have always enjoyed feeding the birds. In the summers, it is humming bird food for many humming birds - because for some reason the bear have not bothered that (yet lol) , but the bear here will go after the seed. I am happy to hear you can relate to the poem.
