Birdsong

Birdsong The natural soundtrack to my silent retreat Making me smile on hearing it in the morning And in the evening preparing me for sleep

Birdsong Wanting me to stop as I am taking a walk So many different birds calling me with their song And each one helping me with my silent thoughts


Birdsong So clear and pure Helping me through my healing


Birdsong I thank you with all my heart and soul For bringing me home to me With your beautiful call for stillness As my breath and your song become one.
