Untamed Wisdom

How do you know
What nest to build
Or flight across
Which distant hill
Your arrival with a trill
Survival such a thrill
Lest you face an almost
Certain death by the time
You hear its piercing shrill
But come you do.....
With greatest pleasure
Every spring in colored prime
Singing loudly and boldly
Announcing for good measure
Same songs in chirping rhyme
Fearful not even changing clime
As boundless as any treasure
Is an untamed wisdom
Wild... and old as time

Godsprincess....... the wonderful thing about poetry is how much it devolves not the inner mind.....the very raw emotion we humans possess.....not always cheery...sometimes very dark and moody....which is really ok, too!! :) My grandmother would make me close my eyes and listen to the sounds of birds to identify them just by their songs when I was just a little child.......it was a powerful way to observe things......she used to tell me......by touch.... sound.....sensation......she really tuned me into a world much more interesting than just what we see..... Thanks for sharing... handshake
