We're each of us
a bird on its tree
watching the grasses
give into the breeze,
catching our allowance
of gold on the wing,
grasping that branch
but as sure as a leaf,
calling out for the one
or ones
I love birds so much! :-) Your poem has a playfulness in it that perfectly catches the heart of a bird. So are we all looking for birds of the same feather as ours? :-) xoxoxo
I am a stranger bird than that, I love to be alone on my branch but will accept a community of folks if I stumble into them, or is it fly into their way of being.
"If I had a million dollars or ten I'd give to ya, world, and then You'd go away and let me spend My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town"

Yeah, the search for the same songs sometimes takes a very long time.
Geraldine, thank you! I'm eagerly courting spring now. :)
Vesper, I think we are, though we're better off inviting some variety from time to time. :)
I love birds, too. More than ever this winter.
Mark, I like to be alone on my little branch too. But to hear the echo of other birds sharing my solitude has a special appeal, I suppose.
And you always invite community...whether you like it or not!
Charles, it sure does.

I'd always welcome a partner for karaoke.
Get enough booze in me and I'll even be CJ.
