Notes About The Poem
It was this kind of gray day this morn but of course there are still some trees with blooms and the forest is alive with spring green so many shades..

Free Will Dove

Clouds have amassed dampness fills the spring air
Two flocks of Blackbirds meet in sky unite
Put on a ballet for me, then begin to pair
In the tallest Pecan Tree clustered no fight

When in flight, they looked like schools of small fish
Surfing the sky, those Blackbirds seem so small
To God do we seem like grasshoppers whishing
No! He knows each of us by name one and all

Even before we're knitted together
He loved us so much that he gives free will
We can chose to love him and others
Or we can deny and His Presence kill

Spring such a lovely time_birds meet, mate, love
People a lovely creation, free will dove___

This is exactly what separates mankind from the animal kingdom. God knows each of us by name and wants us to live in harmony. The "free will dove" may or may not achieve success. We are granted choices to see how we handle challenges. Beautiful description of the birds mating and I love the way you compared them to schools of small fish. Awesome sonnet, Sara! Love, Carolyn

What an interesting verse. Do Black Birds mate for life? I wonder? Take care and safe, Jancarl

Nicely put! Isn't it comforting that God knows "my name"as a Free Will Dove? Thanks for the beautiful analogy.
