Stripping away the rose colored glasses of denial concerning my reality. Getting in touch with truth. Reaching out to others in empathy concerning their reality and their walk to truth.

tiny birds




You bring me joy
As you sit upon the limb
Such tiny birds
Appeal to every whim

You huddle close
A fluttering of the eyes
Just then a peep
As the sun begins to rise

Your sleep is done
Time to take a morning flight
My feeder waits
Where I watch with great delight

Sweet voices ring
Songs and sounds that lift my heart
When you must leave
Say goodnight before you part

    With the winter weather I've just re-discovered the joy of watching the birds in our garden when we put up feeders to help them. Beautiful poem :) Best wishes, Julie x

    Hi! Today is birdie day!
    I love your sweet, sweet poem about such favorite little creatures.
    I had a snow day today and enjoyed my nice, slow morning just watching and photographing my backyard birds. My second cup of coffee was never so sweet!
    I'm sending you links to my "classroom door" photographs that I would love to post. My door is decorated with wintry art and your poem is posted there too ... I wanted you to see how it came out!

    here's the first one

    and here's the second one.
    Hope my links work for you!
    Hoping your warm and cozy on these winter days!
    ~Maria

    Dear Maria,

    The door is absolutely gorgeous! I am most honored to share a snow day with you and the children. Thank you for the links; they work fine.

    Oh, but you may want to have another look at my blog. Then switch the top sheet with the bottom sheet, on the door. :)

    Thanks, Maria, have a great time photographing.
    In peace,
    Dixie

    Hi David.
    Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed this poem.
    My intention for the image was to use it as a screensaver on my computer. As I sat staring at it the poem's words tumbled out of my mind!(smile)
    When it comes to my path... sometimes I crawl, and sometimes I walk. Thanks for the message.
    In peace,
    Dixie

    Hi M.
    Sometimes I think "The Graphics Fairy" and I are on the same page of life. She has a fantastic collection. I'm so glad I found her on your web site.
    Thank you for your kind comments and sharing your coffee.
    In gratitude,
    Dixie
