At the beginning,
ends,
and
afters,
(the
dawn,
the
dusk,
the
eclipsing of the rain shower),
you call:
1. wake up
2. calmly be
3. rejoice
I think you’re right.

We
hear the Varied Thrush from our house every day. I haven’t gotten a photo (they are quick to
hide), but they are pretty orange and bluish-gray birds with a call much like a
referee’s whistle.
For the open link at Poets United Poetry Pantry
sounds like a good to do list to me...smiles...
ReplyDeletethink we can learn a lot from the birds....
cant wait to be able to sleep with the window open
and listen to their song.
BEAUTIFUL to be awakened by a thrush!!!
ReplyDeletenice... just sitting here at my breakfast table and outside the birds sing their songs...they have a wise way to look at things...
ReplyDeleteBird song . . . what a great Spring Welcome (just three days in). Rejoice – after such a winter! A lovely, light-hearted piece, Jennifer.
ReplyDeletesounds like a meditation...lovely.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you can literally hear the happiness in the morning bird's songs :)
ReplyDeleteLovely write Jennifer... :) Birds are always a delight to observe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. The thrush has the right idea!
ReplyDeleteWow, I would love to hear the bird calls ~ Beautiful Jennifer ~
ReplyDeleteThis was so gorgeous, Jennifer! It was light and sweet and deep all at the same time. The call you describe reminds me of the Red-winged Blackbird's piercing call. For some reason, though it's not usual, they always come to our feeders in the spring. It's been so darned cold and snowy, it will be awhile, but I can't wait until they summon me again.
ReplyDeleteUtterly lovely. The appreciation of natural beauty is key to happiness, I think.
ReplyDeleteoh this is heavenly...
ReplyDeleteWe can learn a lot from listening to nature. Well done.
ReplyDelete__Something grand about awakening to the sounds of a day's awakening, so well seen here! _m
ReplyDeleteI love watching and listening to birds.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your message here, to wake up, calmly be, and rejoice!
