FROM MY ROCKING CHAIR

FROM MY ROCKING CHAIR

A Poem by Michael Sun Bear
"

Birds to the feeder

"

From My Rocking Chair


In jagged twist and turn

That slices air and

Makes my heart yearn

Full winged they land


They hop about

Peanuts they seek

I rock in my chair

With each dip of beak


When they take to flight

They carry my soul

Out of its night

Into the Light

Love this. We put out seed each day and get a nice variety of birds visiting. Really brings peace to me when they arrive. ~Jim
