Birdsong

Yestereve

I stood at the window

sipping tea and gazing

upon the horizon;

my heart smiled to see

two birds in sync

soaring to and fro --

here we go!

And, lo, this morn,

I heard the sweet chirping

of myriad birds

flitting about

and felt my spirit lift

despite the still chilly air

and gloomy, sunless sky

spring is nigh!
