All things bright and beautiful.
All creatures great and small.
All things wise and wonderful.
The Lord God made them all.

Cecil Frances Alexander

DARLINGS

darlings you have my attention
your convention in the pines
starlings in numeration
after sunrise...after sunrise
your whirling murmuration
has my adoration
my ears incline...they incline
i open my door’s habitation
an invitation to see you glide
why hide my smile inside
