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
