Never could I be so clever

As to think I was on the brink.

Yet so close, had I moved an inch,

I would to the bottom sink.

 

I am a master, not of thought,

For that would mean intelligence.

No, just a master of what I survey

In all its beautiful elegance.

 

Let the birds build their homes

And wake me with their shrills.

For I, poor soul that I am,

Their morning songs give me a thrill.

Birds in the morning
Crickets at night
Cicadas through the day
Sing their songs to my delight

Unfortunately, the windows are closed and the air conditioner is running, so hearing the birds requires going outside these days. Still, when I get to the brink, I hope that I will still have enough hearing left to hear them like I did as a child.

Prosetry at Work by Odin odin@aflx.com
