Birds Without Cages

BIRDS WITHOUT CAGES

Jubilation of an early morning Spring choir

Free birds perched upon budding branches
Clothed in the creator’s best feathers
Preparing nests to cosset their eggs

Tree roots are deep and strong
Choice finches, robins, and jays in synch
Confident in their praise of dawn

Sounds of early morning song awaken

My ears
     my heart
          my mind
               my spirit

Open the windows, oh hard-hearted!
Soften your tune, breathe fresh air
Fly free with slight chill of March

Soar outside your skin. Let the bad air out.

Revive!
     Relish the day!
               It is Spring!
                     You are free!
