tiny yellow-breasted friend
fluttering wings
sipping at the gurgling fountain
almost within reach
I, feeling grateful
for the trust embodied in our closeness
I, clumsy and monolingual
foolishly long to hug you
I, hoping that my quiet and stillness
feel like love to you

I love this Dr Young. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Deanna! I knew, as I watched the bird, that many others feel love, connection, and a desire to hug birds, bunnies, and even trees.
ReplyDeleteWith love for all,
Dr. Young
I confess that I want to hug the birds in my yard, too!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing your voice, Kris, so loud and clear and beautiful. THANK YOU.
Tor,
ReplyDeleteI almost titled it - Confessions of a Bird Hugger!
I feel comforted with clear connections to other bird huggers, and life lovers!
You are so welcome!
And I feel loved and comforted with you in my life.
Big brother, Kris
