Sights and Sounds


I sat in the sun and closed my eyes
I heard birds chirping and singing 
I heard the soothing flow of my birdbath waterfall
I heard the windchime occasionally ring

Then I opened my eyes 
I saw birds all around me
They were diving to the ground
and chasing each other around
I saw patterns from plane paths across blue sky
The American Flag fluttered with leaves on trees in breeze
All these sights and sounds merged to greet me
                    - and I smiled -
