Teach me,
dear strong, courageous little bird.
Help me to trust the wind
so that my wings will catch the breeze.
Tell me how to touch down gently
on branches large and small.
Show me how to sing
at the top of my voice,
from the depths of my being,
the song
that longs to be heard.

Too beautiful – your words..your image…the exquisite color!
Thanks, Marcie!
Deb, your poem is beautiful — and that picture! Just wow! I keep going back to look at it over and over.
Thank you, Leon!
Amazing focus – that creamy background serves to beautifully enhance your tiny bird, singing away. And such lovely heart-filled poetry.
Thanks, Brenda!
I used a 70-300 zoom lens, and actually did some post processing to enhance the colors.
The words came as I was trying to write the post…sometimes I just have to put out there what comes to my heart.
Beautiful capture! Lovely poetry!
Thanks, Cathy!
Love thinking of these delicate birds as strong and courageous. How beautiful!
Perfect match of words and images. I love both your poem and your little bird on its fence, singing its heart out.
