Notes About The Poem

Simplicity is taken for granted. Complication comes with the mind. Simplicity

is the result of a peaceful heart. Give me the simple heart filled with  peace and faith..

The Sparrow

I walked upon a sparrow sitting on a limb,
her little feathers wet and mottled from a 
spring swim, she played and picked then 
shook her fragile body, stretching her head 
out with a nod, she settled down, nestled,  
she closed her little eyes, quietly, without worry.
As she awoke she expressed her happiness with 
joyous song and weightless sigh, all the while, 
I watch in awe and wonder; how nice it must be 
to have a tree, to sit under, ...free, warm from 
the new morning sun; Ah yes, I should like to be 
a sparrow today, nothing to do but sing and pray.

Lovely poem. Yes, it's so hard to be still and quiet, isn't it?
