Gemini Garden, Silent One
"birds care not for whom they sing"--
Silent One
A bluejay comes ...roosting on the hilltop
Its melody lilts for a bounty's heap
And sprawl of September morn reels, nonstop
While daylight bursts from an autumnal leap--
A season brimming , winds fragrant and deep
That I'm thrilled by birdsong, notes upon mist
How this warbler coos...dare I not resist?
Around the curve, jay quickly darts away
Telling me it sings not for me, but all
An avian's choice-- to stay on or stray:
That birds leave, return when time to enthrall
Is gone , done...my own joy ending
time's call.
Then lo! More bluejays flutter near our gate
A gala of choirs starts... tunes, I await!
