Bird Watching

Listen--quiet, still.
The forest holds its own breath.
Birdsong threads the air.

Thank you, Paige. That made me smile--something to wake for feels like the perfect companion line to this poem. Sometimes it’s the quietest moments that give us a reason to rise. I’m so glad it resonated with you. :)
