-- It’s Birds I Love --

John Herlihy

 

It’s birds I love

The sparrow, the dove

Free, they take flight

The vision feels right

The skies their own

Feathers wind-blown

Wind lifts their wings

With breath that sings

Angels in their blood

Their flight as a flood

Without any pretense

Such flair, innocence

Awaken to morning

As the earth dawning

 Awash in a fountain

Cresting a mountain

Their every act praise

Their colors amaze

Lyrical ditties sung

On an ancient tongue

In flight silent sound

Its meaning profound

LOVELY IMAGERY! I GUESS I'M ALONE IN THIS, I LOVE TO LOOK AT BIRDS BECAUSE THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! BUT...I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE FOR A PET. THOUGH I LIKE DOGS AND CATS AND HAVE HAD THEM AS PETS, I HAVE NO DESIRE TO BE A BIRD'S CARE GIVER. THANKS FOR SHARING. MERRY CHRISTMAS! LOVE,BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

A lovely ode to our fine-feathered friends, John. I have always loved birds as well. Love and peace,

Regis. 🐦🦢

I love the way you display your love for birds in short lines of beautiful accolades to their many attributes from song to feather to flight. What a beautiful sight!

It boggles my mind that they are some of the last of the dinosaurs. They are so beautiful and actually so benign. Can live in any climate and taste so good. I'm sure glad they survived that extinction along with a few mammals and lots of insects. And we must not forget the fishes of the sea that survived as well.

Also in danger now because of our neglect.

I would tend to agree with your premise in this tribute to our feathered friends. They are indeed special and provide language and behavior patterns that when watched closely, remind us of the wonders of communications inherent in all of Nature... including the leaves and tree limbs, the kernels of sand in a storm, and raindrops. Thanks for the reminder.
