Sanctuary

Bird chatter echoes mutual greetings
psalms praising morning light
promising enrapturing return
before light fades to dusk this night.

Birds echo wild canopy cathedrals 
in trees of life majestic chatter,
underflight of bees and insect buzz 
growing conjoined climax
before evening’s quiet sung massive eulogy
consecrates this flying day’s compline, 
graceful deep dark dream delight.

Liturgy of Earth flight song
echoes shattering sanctifying light,
entering as exiting each shared dark 
mythic mourning park
deep listening embark
into right rest 
free flight sanctuary night.

Highly spiritual tones along with sights and sounds of nature. Nice read-
