Bluejay Escorting Me One Morn 

 

Taking early morn walk to settle worldly thoughts
 so gentle the path and green splashing trees
Solitude and peaceful spirit so easily bought
enjoying Nature's gift of the birds and the bees

Before reaching first hiking trail's little bend
 found I had a blue flashing fast flying friend
A bluejay seemed to be so doggedly following me
 circling around happily landing tree to tree

Could it be, same returning fledgling from last Spring?
 little darling I had saved when it failed first wing
Placed tenderly back into that great and high nest
 life thus saved joining all the loud chirping rest

Now followed faithfully for another four hundred yards
 blue flashes often circling above my uncovered head
As if my life it so cleverly wanted to now safely guard
 so much like a dream yet I surely was not in my bed

Bluejay so happily trailing me as if to just say,
 thank you friend,  for saving me that sweet day!

Written today but inspired from an incident that happened to
 me a few months after my heart attack four years ago..
That bluejay followed me from just behind my home to a stream
about a half mile away. Where it landed in a tall Sycamore tree 
while I sat beside that stream for about 45 minutes..
Had never seen anything like it before or since!!
Could it have been the same baby bluejay I saved the preceding year??
Is that even possible?
