Ricochet

The bird in the tree
Singing so beautifully!
Does not sing for me

And yet, as witness
There’s no doubt I benefit
And am doubly blessed

By the notes that play
In delightful ricochet
I deflect your way!

Wonderful poem John. I always wished I could trade places with a bird for a day and enjoy the freedom of flight. Continue letting your pen sing.
