The passerine sits silently Nights are cold and there isn’t always enough food. Every night, quietly she is waiting She knows he will come She waits and watches The man sits and watches the bird too Every day before nightfall She will come to the porch and sit quietly It’s the same play every day An unspoken bound Closer and closer she’ll come In need of company A hand Reaching out And there she was. Slowly she descends Right into his inviting hand Harmony. You better enjoy the one bird in the hand then two in the bushes. Let’s be good to nature and nature will be good to us. Life always has a silver lining.
