Hallowed Trees

How many have written 
A poem or sonnet
About birds chirps
Or crows caws? 

 But, on a sanctifying stroll 
I passed many leafless branches, 
Filled with twig bowls. 
  And at that moment heard it

         The chorus

Blessing is the air 
 Caught in my ear
Sparrows responded
 After their kind,
 A bird babe’s whine 
Makes a heart tinder
Flames burned 
  Until composure.
