Mockingbird
I am the mockingbird
darkened gray and black
singing out a melody,
rhythms found and repacked.
Everybody has heard me sing
once or maybe twice
familiar melodies on the wing
sweet and nice.
Look for me in shadowed trees
listen to me sing
amidst the birds and bees
the continual flow of notes I bring.
.
Here I come again
flitting then stationary perched
loud and bold prayers of when
I found God's presence in nature's church.
