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
