House Wrens

 House Wrens

 tiny birds; bright song
 rising to creation, sun
 reminder of life

 and its rich meaning.
 one bird trapped in hot greenhouse;
 gentle hands release

 perched safely on spruce
 seems to forget her struggle
 sings sweetly again

Pileated

woodpecker couple
dives and floats over spring pond
jungle sounds echo

Stand in Your Own Light

     singular ease, no...
as it burns, it warms others;
     truth inspires all

Footfall

sound of steps through grass
   quietly bouncing off hat
      echoes simple life
