Genesis: 1:20 The poet cleaned the kitchen window over the sink At first glance No birds were seen there to feed or drink water Soon through cleaned window Birds appeared In sadness, she thought How she wished That yesterday it had been spick and span clean Joy would have been fulfilled when All those birds Bathed in the birdbaths There was one when it flew away looked blue but up close Looked dark, charcoal gray How I wished the window had been lovingly cleaned then So that I could see clearly Then they were in a lightning Bolt gone out of sight A few precious minutes to see, feel God's love, His presence and enjoy Their surprise entrance, then their movements bespoke You know that God created them all by saying, "Let birds fill the skies". Original ending jotted down of this one. About five Or maybe seven different species came Took turns bathing, splashing and Then they were Gone away A few precious minutes seeing God's love Feeling His Presence Enjoying a surprise, their movements Knowing God had created them all by saying let there be birds in the Firmament

Yes, birds are living poems, writing lines across the sky, to praise their creator, in beauty to inspire. So good to glimpse these creatures. For me, it was 2 gliding pelicans today! Window was clean, it just happened to be when I looked. J :)

Jeanette, Yes, all of nature is there for us to see and reminding us of God's love for us. Sometimes we forget to give Him praise. Thank you for your visit. Sara K

There are moments when we get a chance to enjoy God's creation. But unfortunately, we are not able to enjoy them as something obstructs our view or we fail to notice them in time. When the birds flew away, instead of seeing them at the right time, we lament that we couldn't see them. Make use of every right moment with eyes open is the great message I get from your lovely poem.

Yes, Valsa, sometimes we are blessed with a fleeing moment to enjoy nature as in our lives sometimes we have to take what moments we get with others to teach, share, help and enjoy, then they are gone. We can only hope that moments make a big difference in the other person's life as it has in ours. Thank for dropping by. Sara K

This is a stunning poem, and your thoughts a pleasure to witness. It just needed to be all in lowercase (except the proper nouns) . :( my sad face. Thank you for your support, Sara. Have a lovely weekend. Best, Suzette :)

Well, I missed one of the so many rules. Maybe next time. I will change it now to like I originally wrote it which I think is a better version. Sara K

Loved this, the first line and the last, and it makes me think of Doves for reason, maybe because the world needs more peace and more birds!

I am delighted that you enjoyed this one Arthur and that it had special meaning to you. I think if everyone would take a few minutes each day to be in nature whatever nature they have even if living in a bustling city that life would be more meaningful to them. Your visit is so nice. Sara K

Dear Sara, I love the emotional depth of this poem. You take me from joy to regret, creating an introspective reflection on life's missed opportunities. I think that the importance of presence is something that most of us are missing in our lives. I felt a deeper sense of God’s presence and his most amazing creation reading your poem – Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
