A Poem by Pete

As I love nature, as I love singing birds...I love thee, my friend. - Thoreau

ushering spring

the birds are back

blowing flutes

crocuses adorning their lapels

toting warmth, love, peace, happiness and good will

their joyous song boasting of the good in everything

i thank god they can sing

and for all that they do miraculously bring

"Each new year is a surprise to us. We find that we had virtually forgotten the note of each bird, and when we hear it again, it is remembered like a dream, reminding us of a previous state of existence. How happens it that the associations it awakens are always pleasing, never saddening, reminiscences of our sanest hours. The voice of nature is always encouraging." - Thoreau
