I heard a bird sing today
And stopped still along my way;
My churning thoughts forgotten
In the haunts of yesterday.
Merely for a moment then
I was that younger soul;
Worries gone and wonder found
Atop a snow-capped knoll.
But in another instant
Just the breeze was at my ears.
As I sank into the present
And lost again those stolen years.
Yet, my heart was lighter.
Those problems not so dire.
I just heard a little bird today
While slogging through the mire.

A great walk to a long day.
