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.
