Birds of Beauty

As the cardinal streaks across the sky
Leaving a trail of brilliant red as it flies
The woodpecker methodically
Peaks away at the distant tree 

The mighty bluebird looking royal in blue
Taking over the feeder it rules
Hidden in the trees
Is the black crows of three

The doves can be heard chirping
As they gather in a grouping
The finches small but mighty
Take the berries from the trees lightly

Soaring high in the sky
The bald eagles fly
The hawk screeches
Grabbing pry as it reaches

The bats soaring through the night
Scaring those who see it in flight
The owls are asking who
Are they speaking to you

When suddenly the hummingbird appears 
Hovering near to my ears
Sending me to a place of calm and peace
Feeling my soul release
