Enthral

With a great heavy weight
Like an elephant breast
Placed upon my chest, hurting breaths
I enter my sanctuary....rest

The weightiness began
To lift: morning sounds call
Me into world of beauty
Then sight and sound enthral

The beautiful Bluebird
Sitting in the tall Oak
Enjoyed just looking at his blue coat
The dampness covered, soaked

As the Spirit wrapped me
In his warm snug arms, love
Overtook me, all life's problems
Gone, flew way with the  Dove

BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love birds, I have my coffee on my porch (built in) cause it's freezing here) I open the windows in and do a few bird calls, the neighbors already know I'm not right haha, I know your use of fowl in this was much enlightened to spiritual yet it made me appreciate them soo much. Many blessings and thanks for the encouragement & well wishes w/ the music! :) Cindy

Sounds like a productive rest getting you off to a flying start. Thank you for your comment. 33 years of marriage faithful the whole time with no plans to change. However, not blind.
