BEAUTIFUL! THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ALL IT TAKES IS A SIMPLE UNEXPECTED SIGN...FROM OUT OF THE BLUE...THAT REASSURES US 'ALL WILL BE WELL'. THANK YOU, JOHN. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

I felt a sweeping kind of sensation reading this poem, John. That feeling was like being swept up into the lap of Spring, with a freshness to the act of reading…”To feel within that I am still alive.” Grand two lines: “Emotions an onion peeling/On this and every day.” My favorite: “A bird came by its own command,/To land gently on my open hand.” In contrast to the lines, “I hear the birds singing,/But I know not their power.” ~~ differently for me because of the power I feel birds posses…in being in my eyes the epitome of life itself. A world without birds would be a world, in my ears, that has become mute and me deaf. Song Sparrow, keep singing! ~~ djl
