bird in darkness, sings at night
a testament. a sigh.
she warbles for the coming light
but never wants to fly
for she fears a tre'chorus flight
in darkness as it lies
cruel, its haunches pull in tight
it homes in on her cries
yet she evades its clutch's might,
so no matter how it tries
God has given second sight
and darkness
always
DIES

without the ambient light from
our cities or electrical lights
even candles or fire
wouldn't WE fear the dark?
I wrote this after sitting
out on my front porch listening
with great appreciation
to a nightbird
