Robin Song

Robin Song

A Poem by Chris Shaw

the last of leaves have fluttered down
a dying carpet covers ground
where once the scented flowers grew

yet there on naked branches stirs
the twitching of a little bird
its stature small its being felt

it sings its winter song for me
perched high atop its melody
a nest is found within my heart

i listen to those soulful notes
that chirp forth from a tiny throat
that carry on the early air

a living creature how it lifts
the joy of nature brings a gift
this morning has a sunshine start
