A twiggy nest,
a serene brown bird ~
a serene brown bird ~
singing!
***
Small bird,
with your sweetness
you are
the bodhisattva
of my morning.
Songstress,
you awaken me
to the plight of all beings.
***
You,
who own only feathers,
are far happier
than we.
Teach us your song.

This is so lovely and true. If only we could learn from them.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they're happy, but their songs certainly bring me joy.
