Lone Bird

Lone Bird

                                    Dawn
                              the turning time,
                        inky black to smoky gray,
                           my mood matching 
                        the somber colors above

                                  The song 
                               of a lone bird
                           floats through the air,
                        sinks deep into my heart.

                     Swaying gently to its melody,
                             my arms reach
                              heavenward,
                                opening, 
                                inviting, 

                                receiving.

                                and  turn, 
                         to embrace the world.
