Strangers Visit
They whispered as she settled
Who Is she ? why is she here?
The fallen tree transformed for her
Still strong her weight it bared
Rustle of leaves while branches swayed softly
Filtered sunshine sprayed all about
They waited in silence nibbling on tree bark
No one dared to shout
Then mistakenly the cardinal
Forgot as she sang her happy song
Scattered chipmunks ran for cover
Scared that something would go wrong
As all waited in dead silence
what on earth will happen now?
The stranger smiled and closed her eyes
As she embraced the latest sound
Calmness swept across the crowd
No one spoke but everyone knew
This stranger comes in peace and love
To enjoy natures beauty too
