Nature's Harmony

The tall pines waved at me, as I sat outside My hand spread into the air with some bird seed I was hoping to feed some birds by hand I’ve seen this done, but have never tried it The air was cold, cracked acorns beneath my feet I was near a patch of grass, bordering frozen snow One bird sat on a branch looking at me inquisitively Others visited the bird feeder hanging above me It would take trust for any bird to come to me In time, patience would lead me to keep trying The snow fell lightly around me from scattered clouds There was silence, I was still, all I could hear is birds talking While the wind chime rang da ding-ding, da ding…pause ding All in a slow pattern of a song, with nature’s harmony Heidi Sands 11/20/22
