“Catbird Seat” — C.Birde, 5/19

 

Returned

– at last –

that sweet-voiced

family.

Descendants.,

all.

Clad in morning

coats and caps,

feathered gray.

Now,

I will put away

– at last –

winter’s bleak

attire,

remove my heart

from safeguarded

place,

return it

– at last –

to its nestspace

betwixt my ribs.

At last.

 

— C.Birde, 5/19

  1. Such a beautiful piece. Really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of this piece and the sigh of relief.

    • Thank you ❤️ We have been “patrons” to a family of Gray Catbirds for the past dozen years or more, and I so look forward to their return each spring! To have such connection to Nature — to be recognized by such lovely creatures — is a precious gift 🙂

    • Thank you, kindly… We all need a little “magic” in our day-to-day lives 😉 Thank you for visiting 🙂

  2. This is lovely, Carrie. It left me feeling a beautiful sense of things as they should be–at last.

    • Thank you, as always, Caprice. You are an inspiration! <3
