Hands clasped
& pressed
to breast-
bones,
we stood –
enraptured –
as Wood Thrush
dropped
each liquid note
down through
the trees’ canopy –
like hope,
like light –
then alit
upon the path
before us
& took
his unassuming
bow.
— C.Birde, 6/22

There’s always a delightful lyricism to your poems!
Oh, thank you so much — I truly appreciate your comment! How I “hear” words in my head — the rhythm of them — guides my writing. Thank you, again ☺️
