lovely life

outdoors

the park bench is mine

the birds sing
in melodic dreams
their words are the beauty
that connect the seams
of the fabric that drapes
over the sun

that shines
and shades

bringing life

the birds sing
my mind wanders
in a ring

my place to go
has everything

it's where I sit
and wait 
the passersby
notice
as i stare
and write

i hope they
know that my
words are like
the song of the birds
designed to capture
their sparkle
as they cross my path
to connect the stitches
of life's glitches

to piece the people
into a circle of life
no one alone
our kindred fused
by the web
of air
the bird's song
the sun
the shade
the will
to survive

we go on
when we serve

we go on
once we see

the grace that is
you and me
