Premium Member Feline Snatches Robin

Shark waits in the bushes, for his opportunity. I am watching the scene in horror, because I feed these birds. There are many robins, sparrows, wrens, cardinals and my bluejay. They all trust me.  I try to get out there in time to scare the cat away from his prime spot, but alas, I am too late. He has captured an unsuspecting baby bird. Trots off with his prey into the forest while the other birds continue to feed, unaware they are now in Shark’s own secret happy hunting ground.

                                   little brown robin escapes
                                         feline grab in air

Mother

Virgin mother of spring and maiden of light  
Once fallen offspring of your splendorous son 
Humbled and now exalted above the height 
Shining down over all creatures as the sun 

You are the slim ladder of heavenly wisdom 
You sent Eve to make our human nature exalted 
You sent Jesus of Sabaoth to man’s system 
You sent bright Christ to become what he emanated 

The love whose warmth made this white rose grow above 
In eternal peace, flamed in your cosmic womb  
You’re the noonday torch of burning, twinkling love 
You’re a bubbling spring of living hope in gloom 

Sophia, you so great, beyond any price or strife 
That a baby bird wishing for warm grace assured 
Does not tweet to you, the mother of all singing life 
His young soul will try to fly without wings matured 

Your breath-taking compassion not just lifts those who sing for it 
Your living love often comes before we even sung with our teachers 
In your heart is tenderness and pity that your eyes emit 
In your soul is kindness and the pleroma of pearls in all creatures 

Now we, who have been through every path and place 
From rivers of flames to the outer darkness 
Now to this bridge, we beg for your inner grace 
Strength to uplift our eyes to blissful starkness 

Our souls are on fire like singing phoenixes being born again 
In flaming passion, we pray for soothing gnosis of the true 
We pray for every cloud of mortality to vanish with our pain 
We pray that that supreme joy, that saving lightning, might break through 

Sophia, who can do all without restraints 
May your hands conquer the fleshly minds of ours 
See Norea and the countless stars of saints 
Folding hands, bowing heads for us fallen stars

Baby bird


On the drive to work as the sun beams for Me 
My mind and core still always reeling 
Can't comprehend the depth of feeling 
As you helped to ease and fix 
A heart that had once all but stopped it's desperate beating 

Once a girl standing on a fresh grave 
With no words fitting for it's stone
Sitting in offices, trying to act brave 
Counting pills in a hand that felt 
The death of part of its soul
As it flew away like a wounded bird 
Wanting and yearning to be seen and be heard
Broken and useless, Afraid and a burden 

Now a woman who's standing in her own grace 
A partner by her side , no longer lingering in place 
Words flowing deeply from her expanse 
Standing in her own scene , eyes gleaming
Thankful her core has a fresh chance to dream
Feeling the light winds of travel 
As a new bird that's just hatched 
Ready to see what life will unravel

Premium Member My Introspective Thoughts

Since a girl-
I have been sensitive
      hiding behind mother was my place to be
my eyes were deep pools of sadness
            brown swirls of sorrow
words said effected me too much
      I could not brush them off-  
that was not me . . .
                         I just went within
            with my imagination making up stories
I would read books in a secret attic corner
                at night I told my kitty-  my sadness
father taught me about nature and I loved
               wandering the forest all alone
    I saw things that touched my soul
                        a little baby bird
                          young squirrels playing
                            nature growing
                              streams flowing  
green lush vines creeping . . .
         this is where I still find my peace
     my tranquility-
as a young woman I remain quiet- often alone
                     in my silent world
words said still scar my heart and soul, and
      for some reason my life has been a tangled path
                          a ravaged garden washed with death
              I have lost everyone I ever loved-
but I treasure sweet moments of sublime beauty lived
             and in the end my sorrow is 
 a blessing . . . 
for it has made me the poet, and words
                   drip from my pen to create poems
yet in the mirror, I often see
           that frightened, sad little girl looking at me . . .

Premium Member Lamb to the Slaughter

I fear for the future of many young and innocent.
The unfortunate ones whose childhood was spent
without responsible parents who couldn't care less.
Abandoned or runaways, alone and in dire distress
of what to do. To survive they turn to a life of sin...
thinking it's better than the home they were living in.
On their own, using the only thing they have to barter,
one prostitutes her body like a lamb to the slaughter.

It's an old story about some who had a lousy childhood,
parents who didn't care or who never understood
that a child needs love to give them a sense of worth.
Many were given away within days of their birth.
Others, fleeing a home in which they'd been abused
is a common reason teenagers often become confused.
And another innocent baby bird, from the nest has flown
walking the streets, lost and left to make it on her own.

Lips painted scarlet red... in a hooker's shoes she walks,
lamb to the slaughter while the lascivious wolf stalks.
Little Girl Lost, whose flesh was once as white as snow,
allows herself to be used by Tom, Dick, John and Joe.
Langston Hughes has labeled her, "...a withered flower
on a broken stem." *  Stilettoes pacing hour after hour,
just so she can eat.  A lamb to quench a predator's thirst,
she's among the flock on the corner of Gutter and 21st.

*'Young Prostitute' by Langston Hughes

EXPECTING TO FLY

EXPECTING TO FLY

You watch outside the window at the bird's nest
Watching the baby bird leaning on the mother's breast
I want to give the mother and baby a wave
But I think they just want to rest before they engage
The baby is still very young
And the young bird flying has just begun
I know the baby bird flying will start slow
But it's just nice watching this little bird start to grow
The baby bird is just starting to stand
Without its mother lending a helping hand
When the baby bird starts to fly
It won't start very high
And I hope it will not be the bird's last goodbye
It was a rainy day at dawn
And I looked outside and they were gone
I don't know where they flew to
All I know they just flew the coup

Premium Member Baby Birds

You told me
when I nearly died
how weird it felt
to feed me
how agape I waited
mouth open wide
for the next spoonful
like I did as a baby

Hungry little bird

You told me
when you were dying
you didn't see me till
days after I was born
years of guilt
that we did not bond 
unwed teenage moms
in those days
unconsidered 

Hungry little birds

You told me
when I was dying
for your approval
that I was not pretty enough
not strong enough
ridiculed me
insulted me
cut me off

Hungry little bird

I told you
when you were dying
when you asked me
why
that it was all ok
that we just were who we were
and that I loved you
that it's    ok
mom it's ok

Hungry little bird

A decade since
you passed away
I live with 
echoes of your words
and only now
I realize 
that for your love
I will always be

Your hungry baby bird

Premium Member BABY WOODPECKERS

One of the treasures of our morning walks…as we slowly walk along
is listening to the birds as they wake up and sing their morning songs.

We love walking together…listening to the birds…it’s a great way for our day to start…
as walking exercises our body while those bird songs soothe our hearts.

Over the years…walking in the different seasons, fall, winter, summer, spring
we’ve come to recognize certain birds by the different songs they sing.

Even though we know their melodies and will never know the words
we smile when we hear the bluejay, the Carolina wren, the cardinal and the mockingbird.

We will never tire of listening…it is a great way for our day to begin…
and springtime here in Florida is when the woodpeckers join in.

We try to find the birds who are singing…because their colors we’d love to see
but most of the birds are shy and sing while hidden in the shelter of their trees.

Every now and then, however, we catch a glimpse of the diva…and we let our a little cheer
it’s a wonderful moment on our walk when our eyes are as happy as our ears.

Yesterday we heard a woodpecker…then followed her sound to a hole up in a tree
where a hungry baby woodpecker peeked out…and was easy for us to see.

She sang a hopeful tune…wondering what mom or dad would bring her to eat.
Would it be  nuts or insects this morning…
or perhaps fruits and berries…something sweet.

We hoped she’d get berries as we walked away without saying a word
still listening and blessed to have witnessed the innocence of that baby bird.

And once again we thought of our own children and all the children of the world
those we can and cannot see…
and we said a little prayer that every one of them is as loved and as protected 
as that baby woodpecker in the tree.

Premium Member I'M Just Getting Started

I'm just getting started so what can I say,   
we just might be here all day.

I am fed up with cooking what a mess,    
I would rather be playing chess.

Driving was oh so much fun,      
now everyone just looks and gives you a yawn.

Laundry, where did you come from?
seems like I did you yesterday as I sung. 

Shopping was an adventure searching for the right outfit,  
no sales people around, guess they all quit.

Just as I wash my last dish,
here comes one more to wash in the sink.

Having babies was a thrill,
then they all needed a pill.

Years come and years go,
am I sounding like an old crow?

Computer, computer what should I do,  
I thought you had all my answers but you just make me blue.
