The Birds in the High Nests

The birds in the high nests

Have a distinct advantage

Over the birds in the low nests

As they are closer to the stars

 

A Small Act of Kindness  

I suppose I have been selfish all my life taking what is not mine and disposing of it when I am bored

But recently I found a dying sparrow which was afraid of its own mortality so I covered it with my wing until it died in peace

I suppose this could be classed as a small act of kindness

 

Song of Spring

I am told that many await my song as the first sign of the new season

Little do they know that I am a lazy bird who before migration records the seasonal songs

It is only the foolish echo’s you hear my friend as I am on wing many thousands of miles away enjoying the sun
